As the official Christmas charity partner for the City of Sydney, Guide Dogs NSW/ACT is bringing a special event to Martin Place this December.
City workers are invited to witness a special presentation of graduating Guide Dogs in Martin Place. The spectacle is rarely held in a public venue and will be an opportunity to see the four-legged graduates receive their first harnesses, watch Guide Dog demonstrations and hear Guide Dog handlers talk about how their lives have been changed for the better. There
will also be some very cute puppies enjoying themselves in a play pen.
The public will be joined by those who have been integral to the process of turning the playful puppies into responsible working Guide Dogs, including instructors and volunteer Puppy Raisers.
