Show Notes

Guide dogs Clover, Elton, and Evie made waves at the Australian Open swimming championships, providing a calming presence for athletes like Molly OCallaghan and Duke Shepherd. The dogs, from Guide Dogs Queensland, helped reduce stress and boost focus, with Shepherd setting a personal best and Jack qualifying fastest. The program, inspired by Beacon at the US gymnastics Olympic trials, aims to improve mental health and could extend to bigger meets like the Commonwealth Games trials or LA Olympics.
