Phantom, the secondary school reading assistant

View descriptionShare

Meet Phantom. This retired racing greyhound first showed his therapeutic chops at the Greyhound Rescue Centre in Rake, with his calming influence on other greyhounds. After four years as a family pet, he has embarked on a second career, volunteering as a PAT "Read to" dog in the Solaris Nurture Unit at Bohunt School in Liphook. 

Presenter Kate Fairweather meets Phantom and his owner, Erika Harris, for a Sunday morning coffee at Petersfield Heath's cafe, the Plump Duck. 

More info on how to volunteer as a Pets as Therapy dog in our interview with Patricia Bland, published last January.

Find out about other dogs with interesting jobs.
