Puppies lead the way

CUTE little puppies win over the hearts of many people, but their adorable qualities pale in comparison to the guidance they give blind and partially sighted New Zealanders.

The Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind’s annual Red Puppy Appeal scampers away from March 26-28.

During the appeal, volunteers in red vests with collection buckets will try to raise the $1 million needed for guide-dog services.

Supporters can donate $20 by calling 0900-733-787 or log onto www.redpuppy.org.nz
