An assistance dog from a Petersfield based charity has completed his 80th flight!

Hounds for Heroes founder Allen Parton and his assistance dog ET touched down in the heart of Belfast to raise funding and awareness for the incredible work the charity does.

Allen said: “Without the support of British Airways and at the airports we couldn't achieve half of what we do or as successfully. We owe a huge thank you all for the support and provided special assistance during our first visit to Northern Ireland in 2025.

“Over the years the caring staff at Belfast City Airport have become genuine friends and have helped us out when flights have been cancelled or bags have gone astray, always resolving the issues.

“Truly a home from home and an airport that delivers in all areas, special assistance and professionalism and a genuinely warm welcome always given. Salute!”
