Wednesday 16 September saw the arrival of seven beautiful black Seeing Eye Dog Labrador puppies to Warrnambool.

These are the first of many pups to be placed in and around Warrnambool as part of SEDA's (Seeing Eye Dogs Australia) puppy program.

Carers were met at Vision Australia's Warrnambool office by SEDA General Manager Leigh Garwood and Warrnambool Mayor Michael Neoh. They presented each carer with a blue coat for the puppies.

The puppies will stay with their carers until they are approximately 12 months old before going back to the SEDA headquarters in Kensington for formal training.
