International Guide Dog Day Awards 2021
Today we celebrate International Guide Dog Day and the important role Guide Dogs play in supporting people all around the world with low vision or blindness to achieve their goals and live independently.
This is a very special day for all of us here at Guide Dogs Victoria as it is not only an opportunity to recognise these remarkable dogs but it is also a day to honour those whose commitment and dedication allow us to provide services and support to our community with our annual International Guide Dog Day Awards.
Congratulations to all of this year’s winners and thank you for being a valuable part of the Guide Dogs Victoria community. We couldn’t do what we do without you!
