The Guide Dogs story started in 1931 with two amazing British pioneers, Muriel Crooke and Rosamund Bond. These remarkable women organised the training of the first four British guide dogs from a humble lock up garage in Wallasey, Merseyside.
They’ve come a very long way since those early days. Today Guide Dogs are the world’s largest breeder and trainer of working dogs. And thanks to the dedicated staff and volunteers – and your vital donations – 36,000 lives have been transformed through a guide dog partnership since 1931.
Want to dig deeper? They’ve got a fascinating history of dogs used as guides for blind people that covers the last 90 years. For more information on how you can support them click here!
