While many of us like good dogs, a good horse is pretty cool too.

It was reported last year that Digby the miniature horse was in training to become the UK’s first guide-horse.

Well now it seems he’s hot to trot. Digby has been assigned to BBC journalist Mohammed Salim Patel. Patel is blind and has a fear of dogs, so Digby means for the first time in his life he can have a  guide animal.
