Tucked away in a converted barn in the tiny South Downs village of Ramsdean, Hounds for Heroes is a charity, which trains and provides assistance dogs for disabled veterans from the military and emergency services. 

Founder Allen Parton talks to Dogs with Jobs presenter Kate Fairweather about how the dogs are trained, and explains the story behind the dogs' names. He also explains what they look for in "puppy parents", the other vital component in raising a well balanced assistance dog. 

This is a companion piece to the Dogs with Jobs edition, which focuses on E.J. the military assistance dog.
