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.
