The council's school travel plan team and Guide Dogs for the Blind have been touring schools to promote the work the charity does as well as spread an important message about walking safely to school.
Coun Pat Garbutt, Wakefield Council's cabinet member for children and young people, said: "This is a great way of promoting walking safely to school and also highlighting the good work of Guide Dogs for the Blind.
Educate
"Together we can educate young people and make walking fun, while promoting healthier lifestyles too."
Speakers from Guide Dogs for the Blind have been to assemblies at four Ossett schools, including Dimple Well Infants and South Ossett Infants, St Ignatius Catholic Primary and Southdale Juniors.
The charity's puppy walkers and their dogs, including Cosby the Golden Retriever, then took the time to meet up with walkers from the four schools at Green Park, Ossett and walk with them to school.
Sue Richardson, puppy walking manager for Guide Dogs for the Blind, said: "The scheme works on a number of levels. As well as promoting Guide Dogs as an organisation, it develops young children's understanding of the importance of the work of the dog and blindness in general. The scheme also allows the pups to get used to being around children and noise."
The scheme has already been seen at two schools in the district – Glasshoughton Infants and Stanley St Peters – and proved a massive success.
Pupils at Glasshoughton Infants also became involved in raising sponsorship for the charity through a non-uniform day.
