"What a gorgeous puppy, hope he does really well," another fan posted.
"Ah wonderful! I sponsor a guide dog puppy," one more added.
It seems Titch is destined for canine fame, with the current Love Your Weekend series scheduled to continue until June next year.
Titch has already made his debut on the show, with the official Guide Dogs UK account sharing another post about Titch's journey.
Last week, the Instagram post read "Yesterday's 'Love Your Weekend with Alan Titchmarsh' featured our guide dog pup, Titch!
"From bonding with his new puppy raisers to practising confidence-building exercises, he’s on his way to becoming a future guide dog."
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS
The description explained the couple holding Titch were puppy raisers Alan and Jacqui, who both smiled for the camera.
Speaking recently to Express, Jacqui said of Titch: "People keep recognising him down the high street."
Her husband Alan told the publication: "He’s already been recognised, partly because of the name that he's got.
"And quite a few people that live around here are aware that Alan Titchmarsh lives in the area."
