Show some appreciation for the amazing work that guide dogs do for those in need.

Last Wednesday of April

What Does #GuideDogsDay Mean?

International Guide Dog Day falls on the last Wednesday of April and honors the guide dogs that help visually impaired individuals navigate the world safely. These dogs go through months of rigorous training before being matched with their handlers, and the bond between a guide dog and their person is extraordinary. The day also raises awareness about guide dog organizations and the need for puppy raisers.

How to Use #GuideDogsDay

Share stories about guide dogs, donate to a guide dog organization, or if you have a connection to the guide dog community, share that experience. Photos and videos of guide dogs in action always get strong engagement. Remember not to pet working guide dogs though - that is an important message to include.
