THE LATE LATE Show kicked off last night with a very special story.
The first four guests on were Olivia and Lauren – along with their two dogs Fifi and Graham.
As part of the Irish charity Dogs for the Disabled, the dogs are specially trained to help the two girls walk everywhere they go.
Seven-year-old Lauren – who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at the age of two – told Ryan how Graham helps her every day:

I would rather watch Colin Farrell’s Alexander on repeat for a week.
