Did you know that every hour, another person in the UK goes blind? This means that there is a huge need to train more guide dog puppies.
Just like Jazz…
Jazz – she was named Guide Dog of the Year in 2013 for saving Emma, Owen and Emma’s other son, eight-year-old Luke. The trio were stood with Jazz at a crossing when Jazz suddenly moved back, taking the three with her. Moments later, a lorry mounted the kerb where they had just been standing. Jazz has transformed the lives of Emma and her family, allowing Emma to be the mum she wants to be for her young sons.
Guide Dogs are creating a new TV add and Jazz and Emma will star in it. It is important to increase awareness about the guide dogs, their role in people’s lives and impact they actually make.
Please check out this new TV advert. What do you think?
If you think you can spare just a few pounds a month you can sponsor a puppy from just £1 a week. You will receive regular Pupdates, so you can follow your puppy’s journey to becoming a life-changing companion for a blind or partially sighted person. This way you can really make a difference.

Oh that is such an inspirational story what a clever dog xx
Dogs are amazing! We’ve always had at least one, but up to three at a time and they are always a blessing 🙂
I remember reading about Jazz, what an incredible pup!!
Such a great story and a great cause x x
Wow what a story and what a star Jazz is. This is such a great cause thanks for sharing! x
I’m so glad that dogs like Jazz help their people to manage their life. It’s a gret idea!
Brilliant idea! I’m always keen to donate money when it comes to animals 😉
A good friend of mine got her first guide dog a couple of weeks ago and I got to meet her today. It’s going to make a major difference in my friend’s life.
That is such a scary figure, 1 person going blind every hour. These are such special and sometimes lifesaving dogs x
This is such an important charity to support. Jazz sounds like an amazing dog and they are such a lifeline to their owners. Brilliant post!
As a kid, I used to collect annually for the Guide Dogs Association with my wonderful German Shepherd. He got presented with a medal for the efforts. People used to pass a hand in front of my face to see if I was really blind. I would tell them no, but that my dog led me nevertheless. It was true – in the wild coastal countryside he was a wonderful pathfinder.
Wow, a bit of a heart-stopping story, aren’t guide dogs great? Well done you for sharing the amazing work that Guide Dogs For The Blind do.
These dogs are truly amazing. I know an assistance dog that does so much for his owner x
My husband has Glaucoma with optic nerve damage. It’s well controlled at present but we face the issue constantly as to whether his sight will deteriorate or whether he will lose it eventually. Very scary. Guide dogs are amazing – such a worthwhile charity and previously popular, but one often neglected today,
