Warning: puppy eyes, golden floof and very good boys and girls inside.
Consider this our Christmas gift to you.
Guide Dogs Victoria has celebrated its class of ‘22 in a graduation ceremony at Melbourne’s Abbotsford Convent.
Eighty-one dogs graduated at the event, which was attended by 12-foot Guide Dog float Goldie in his ceremonial cap and gown.
The new graduates are now ready for their very special careers: helping people who are blind or have low vision live life without limits through roles as Guide Dogs, Therapy Dogs, Companion Dogs, Ambassador Dogs and more.
Take a look at some of the gorgeous graduation photos:
