Success Stories
Meet the families and dogs who have transformed their lives through Manor & Hound placements.
The Worthington Family & Goldie
Hampshire, England
The Worthingtons sought a calm companion for their busy country estate and young children. Goldie, a golden Labrador trained to Advanced level, has become the family's most valued member. Within weeks, she settled into the rhythms of country life — accompanying the children on countryside walks, staying peacefully during dinner parties, and proving herself equally at home in the drawing room or on the moors.
"Goldie is simply perfect. She's calm, intuitive, and seems to understand exactly what each of us needs. The training is impeccable — we feel like we've always had her."
Now three years in, Goldie remains the family's most treasured companion.
The Chen Family & Bentley
Connecticut, USA
Mr & Mrs Chen wanted to give their children the gift of a well-trained companion but worried about the logistics of an international placement. Manor & Hound managed every detail — from selection through to the international flight preparation and stateside handover. Bentley, a chocolate Labrador, arrived calm and ready for his new family.
"The entire process was seamless. We were nervous about international delivery, but every detail was handled with such care. Bentley walked off the plane and into our home like he'd always been here."
Two years on, Bentley remains the heart of the Chen household and has appeared in their local community as the perfect family ambassador.
