Top Dog Day - South Australia/ Northern Territory
Top Dog Day – Friday 31st July 2009
Top Dog Day is Guide Dogs SA.NT’s newest major fundraising event. All funds raised through Top Dog Day activities assist guide dog puppies in training.
Our love of animals is not a surprise, and it’s this love of our own ‘Top Dogs’, our wonderful and faithful guide dogs, that has sparked Top Dog Day. Celebrate your own Top Dog, be it the four-legged kind or the two-legged kind – someone at work, school or in your local community!
Not only is this a fun way for you to show your admiration of your own Top Dog, this annual celebration will help raise money to support blind and vision impaired
South Australians
Top Dog Day on Friday, 31st July, will culminate a month-long celebration of our Top Dogs – GUIDE DOGS!
