NEW JERSEY (PIX11) – German shepherds, golden retrievers, labs, oh my!
On Sunday, 100 puppies marched through Newark Liberty International Airport for guide dog training, which helps the pups get accustomed to leading blind and visually impaired people through difficult settings.
The adorable annual training is hosted by the Seeing Eye, an organization that breeds and raises puppies to become guide dogs.
The dogs, which included German shepherds, golden retrievers and labrador retrievers, were led through Terminal C’s baggage areas, checkpoints and gates. The pups also boarded a United Airlines plane during the practice exercises.
They were led by New Jersey and Pennsylvania families volunteering to help train the dogs, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
