May 29, 2001 11:53: IT CAN be a dog's life on the General Election trail.
But when your name is Lucy and you belong to Education Secretary David Blunkett, it has rewards.
Pupils at Eltham Hill Technology College for Girls got drawn into the campaigning when Mr Blunkett and Lucy, his trusty guide dog, arrived for a visit.
GSCE students from one year 10 class designed and made a name tag for Lucy.
During the visit, which lasted more than an hour, Mr Blunkett met staff and was shown some of the work under way as part of the Government's Excellence in Cities scheme.
