Judges’ Award 2025 Bronze Longform Over £5million
Have you ever wondered how a puppy becomes a guide dog? It’s a journey that takes time, skill and dedication. From a playful pup to becoming a powerful partner for a person with sight loss, our puppies have a lasting impact on everyone they meet.
Pups to Partnerships: A Guide Dogs Documentary is a heart-warming feature-length programme that shines a light on each important stage of the guide dog training journey. From fluffy young pups learning about the world to expert training and mastering specialist skills to being matched as a partner for someone with sight loss and starting their new lives together.
Produced by Guide Dogs, the documentary features exclusive interviews and never-before-seen footage, as you watch our pups grow and embark on their journey to become life changers.
The documentary was released on 5 October 2024 to mark the start of the Guide Dogs Puppy Appeal, which also celebrates the anniversary of our charity’s first four guide dog partnerships created in October 1931.
''A guide dog partnership will be the best experience you ever have. You'll have a friend for life, and Guide Dogs will look after you all the way.''
- Alan, guide dog owner
