That the Parliament congratulates Guide Dogs Scotland on its forthcoming Guide Dog Week, which commences on 6 October 2012; acknowledges the series of Walk a Mile in my Shoes public events being held across Scotland; recognises what it considers to be the educational opportunities for people to walk a mile in blindfold to help build up an understanding of the challenges faced by visually impaired people when walking around Scotland's streets, and wishes Guide Dogs Scotland staff, guide dog owners, puppy walkers and supporters all the best for the first event on 6 October, Walk the Royal Mile, in Edinburgh.
