Liam Creed is now 17 and lives in Chichester. At the age of eight he was finally diagnosed with ADHD, and has been on medication ever since. When his school put him forward as a volunteer at Canine Partners - as featured in the BBC documentary In The Dog House - Liam found his true calling, realizing that he has a rapport with dogs generally and a special bond with one in particular. The experience changed his outlook forever and he is now training to be a full-time trainer at Canine Partners.
