These Guide Dog Puppies Are the Cutest Thing You’ll See All Day
The pups, named after 2017 Boston Marathon winners, could one day be running buddies for their visually impaired owners.
Dogs are wonderful. They're cuddly, fun to play with, and make the best running buddies.
That’s where Guiding Eyes for the Blind steps in. The organization is the first in the world to train guide dogs to become running partners for their handlers, making it safer and easier for those with visual impairments to log their miles.
For this year’s Boston Marathon, Guiding Eyes for the Blind decided to name two new pups after the winners of the race: How Adopting a Dog Helped Her Love Running Again as a Full-Time Job. Now that the new guide dog puppies—two black labs that are seven and eight weeks old—have their legs under them, they’re just too cute not to share with the world. Here they are in their natural puppy state.
