Jennie is a guide dog owned by Liberal Democrat member of parliament Steve Darling, who has juvenile macular degeneration[1]. She helps Darling navigate the House of Commons. She is three-quarters Golden Retriever and one-quarter Labrador.[2]
In September 2023, Jennie was attacked by an XL Bully dog in Torbay, and recovered from the attack.[3]
She is not the first guide dog to serve in Westminster, as House of Lords members Baron Blunkett and Baron Holmes of Richmond also use guide dogs in the chamber.[4]
