FAMILIES had the chance to find out more about the work of guide dogs in Newport at the weekend, as the amazing work of the animals captivated an audience at the city’s Tredegar Park.

The event on Saturday, planned to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Guide Dogs for the Blind, brought people of all ages for a day of fun activities.

The dogs were sponsored to go for a walk on the day and youngsters had to chance to meet the animals afterwards.

Dog displays, competitions, children’s activities and face painting were also part of the action throughout the afternoon.
