Guide dogs take to the catwalk

Catwalk celebrates the start of Guide Dog Week 2013

A Canine Catwalk fronted by fashion model Amber Le Bon marked the start of Guide Dogs Week 2013 on Sunday, October 6.
Taking place on London's iconic Millenium Bridge, the event saw working guide dogs and puppies in training basking in the spotlight with their owners.

The event marked the end of a month-long UK tour, known as the Four Legs Tour by Team GD - a group of blind and partially sighted people and their guide dogs who embarked on a nationwide journey.

The tour visited over 50 venues in 30 days to find out how accessible the locations were for visually impaired people, and celebrating the freedom that guide dogs bring to their owners.
 
Other models to join Amber on the catwalk included some who were blind or partially sighted. They wore a vibrant collection of neon yellow clothing, donated by the online retailer ASOS, to highlight the Guide Dog Week campaign theme – Stand Out For Guide Dogs.
 
Guide Dogs Week 2013 is set to be the biggest ever, aiming to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds to help people who are partially sighted to gain independence and get out and about.
