We are celebrating these talented canines for a special reason - it’s International Guide Dog Day on April 30.
The event is always held on the last Wednesday in April and celebrates the work of guide dogs around the world.
We have also got reminders of Becca, Tamsin, Toby and Mya plus many more. Enjoy the Shields Gazette memories and to find out more about guide dogs, visit here.
