Scots guide dog puppies celebrate first birthday party before starting school

A group of guide dog puppies came together to celebrate their first birthday at a special event in Edinburgh .

The puppies are part of the first ever fully- funded  guide dog group, thanks to support from players of People's Postcode Lottery.

Over the last 12 months lottery players have raised £2,209,506 towards the training and care of these life-changing pups, as well as for other key projects at the charity.

Taking a morning break from their specialist training, seven of the group of nine pups attended the party, where they enjoyed a birthday cake made specially for dogs.

They also met People's Postcode Lottery staff for some well- deserved cuddles.

Turning one means the pups will soon enroll at their Guide Dogs training school, where they will receive their formal training before graduating as fully qualified guide dogs.
