Aah! Pupils' puppy love

It was puppy love for Canvey students when a picture of two guide dogs was presented as no paw substitute to say thank you raising £500.

Dolly Allen from the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association handed over the picture to the Cornelius Vermuyden School, Third Avenue, where pupils sponsored teachers to do a parachute jump.

The money was raised to help train the two golden bundles which were named after the school, called Vermuyden and Cornelius.

And in school assembly Dolly Allen collected the money and handed over the framed thank you.
