THIS Valentine’s Day, Vision Australia Seeing Eye Dogs is teaming up with personalised video service, Swysh, to spread the puppy love through personalised video messages from Seeing Eye Dogs’ puppies.
Launching on Wednesday, February 12 at 9am, users can send their video requests to the friendly team at Seeing Eye Dogs, who will then respond back with a curated puppy video.
Perfect for those whose partner is a dog-lover, singles without a Valentine, or for those who have forgotten to get their significant other a gift, each video aims to inject some fun and joy into someone’s day.
Importantly, a portion of the proceeds from each video will go directly back to Seeing Eye Dogs and its puppy development program, said Vision Australia Seeing Eye Dogs manager for puppy development Jane Bradley.
“We rely on the generosity of the public and their donations to keep our puppy development program going. Proceeds will go towards things like medical expenses and treatment, food and training equipment,” Ms Bradley said.
“Seeing Eye Dog puppies are given the best care and training so that they can one day become a working Seeing Eye Dog and provide life-changing support to someone who is blind or has low vision.
“Through this fun initiative we also hope to encourage anyone who is able and willing to consider becoming a volunteer puppy carer. Our puppy carers play a vital role in the social development of a Seeing Eye Dogs puppy from when they are 8-10 weeks old to when they go in for formal training at 12 months of age.”
When: Requests can be made between 9am, February 12 and 11am, February 14.
Where: Head to Pawsonalised Valentine’s Day
What: Personalised videos from Seeing Eye Dogs puppies. Each video will cost $50, with a portion of the proceeds going back to Vision Australia Seeing Eye Dogs.
