Thank you so much to everyone who voted! And a special shout out to the individuals in the Guiding Eyes community who sent in over 165 photos of pups in costume.




It’s that time of year again! The trees are shades of amber, russet, and crimson and their colorful leaves fall faster than we can rake them. Our thoughts turn to flannel, pumpkin spice and… Guiding Eyes pups in their delightful Halloween costumes.

Each year, we reach out to our community to ask that they get in touch with their creative side and send photos of Guiding Eyes pups in their Halloween costumes. As usual, they did not disappoint. We could only narrow it down to 10 finalists!  Now it’s time for YOU to help us out and VOTE for your favorite. Before hitting the voting site, visit the Finalist Preview Gallery below and check out these irresistible pups in costume, but remember, voting ends at midnight on October 30th! We’ll announce the winner the next day.

Guiding Eyes dogs are known for being exceptional, life-changing, and absolutely incredible. However, they’re also so cute, it’s scary! 👻👻

Did you know… From the time they are puppies, Guiding Eyes dogs are preparing for wearing a guide dog harness. To that end, Halloween costumes can serve an important purpose. Our little pups wear miniature fabric harnesses and Pups-on-Program practice “getting dressed” with their raisers, as an introduction to wearing a harness. As a working guide, a dog’s comfort level in this regard is critical to their success.
