Dr Hannah Wright, guide dog programme lead at Guide Dogs, said: “Today is all about the extraordinary guide dogs who empower people living with sight loss to lead independent, fulfilling lives.
“Alongside enabling independence, guide dogs provide companionship, trust and emotional support, helping people with a vision impairment feel more confident in everyday life and more ready to take on new experiences.
“But behind every life-changing guide dog is a dedicated community.
“Through Guide Dogs’ Sponsor a Puppy programme, supporters follow a puppy’s journey from their earliest days right through to becoming a fully trained guide dog.
“This International Guide Dog Day, people can help provide the training, care and support a future guide dog needs by sponsoring a puppy.”
