With Valentine’s Day upon us, singles from across the country can rest easier knowing that their PAW-fect partner may be closer than they think.

According to Seeing Eye Dogs’ manager of puppy development Jane Bradley, the not-for-profit will host online and in-person events for Aussies looking to open their hearts to a Seeing Eye Dogs puppy.

“We’re seeking compassionate individuals to fall in-love with giving back by becoming a volunteer puppy carer. With the recent birth of several litters, there are 40 puppies looking to be placed in loving homes as soon as possible,” Jane said.

“Not only do puppy carers play an integral role in the early development and socialisation of Seeing Eye Dogs, but they also provide life-changing support to Australians who are blind or have low vision.”

City-goers in Melbourne’s CBD can drop into 530 Collins Street to ‘speed date’ a Puppy Development Trainer and a Seeing Eye Dog puppy to obtain the information they’ll need to become a volunteer.

For those that aren’t based in Melbourne, the team at Seeing Eye Dogs will run a Facebook Live-stream from its puppy centre so Aussies can tune-in and listen to the experts, while watching adorable puppies play.

To sign up to become a puppy carer and share the love this Valentine’s Day, fill in the application form via the Seeing Eye Dogs website: https://sed.visionaustralia.org/puppy-caring.

Richest 1% burn through their annual carbon limit in just 10 days

The richest 1 percent have burned through their share of the annual global carbon budget —the amount of CO2 that can be added to the atmosphere without pushing the world beyond 1.5°C of warming— within the first 10 days of 2025, reveals new Oxfam analysis. In stark contrast, it would take someone from the poorest half of the global population nearly three years (1022 days) to use up their share of the annual global carbon budget. This alarming milestone, dubbed “Pollutocrat Day” by Oxfam, underscores how climate breakdown is disproportionately driven by the super-rich, whose emissions far exceed those of…
