They say never work with animals or children but one brave concert organiser is doing just that on Saturday, May 15.
Charmaine Waterman, who has taught piano to children in Surbiton for many years, has organised a concert at Tolworth United Reform Church in aid of Canine Partners.
The charity trains dogs to become companions for the physically handicapped, and one of the dogs will perform a short display at the concert.
Admission to the 2pm event is free, but a collection will go round for the charity.
