Guide Dog of the Year 2010 nominations

The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association UK are taking nominations for 2010's Guide Dog of the Year awards.

There are three catagories to find the dog which has helped their blind owner avoid danger in a heroic manner, changed their owners life for the better or has adapted outstandingly to new and unusual situations.  One dog from these winners will be named Guide Dog of the Year 2010.

Beyond the Call of Duty – for dogs that have performed a heroic act, or helped their owner avoid a dangerous situation.

Life Changing – for dogs who have given their owners the mobility and confidence to take on a new challenge; e.g. going to work, trying a new hobby…or something completely different.

Outstanding Work – for dogs whose work is exceptional; e.g. adapting to a new environment or circumstances, or mastering complex skills.
