Guide Dogs Australia
Chris CREWTHER (Mornington) (10:08): I have a special helper in my electorate office for several weeks: Kelly. She is a baby labrador, and at 12 weeks of age she is on the path to her guide dog graduation. Kelly has been enjoying socialising and is gaining confidence with her training by my team member Donna, who is a guide dog volunteer. Raising puppies and volunteering for guide dogs plays an important role in helping Victorians with low vision. Guide Dogs Australia would love to hear from you if you can volunteer as a puppy raiser, in gardening, assisting with administration, dog walking, helping at the kennels or driving people with low vision to events.
