Best Pals: The Blind Dog And The Guide Dog

[rpannier]

Best friends Bonnie and Clyde were brought to the animal shelter in Norfolk after they were found wandering the streets in a rain storm.

When the pair are together Clyde, five, seems as capable as a fully sighted dog - but he won't move unless Bonnie, two, is close.

Bonnie guides him on walks or towards food and lets him rest on her when he becomes disorientated.

Cherie Cootes, who runs the Meadown Green Dog Rescue Centre in Loddon, Norfolk, said: "He totally relies on her the whole time. When she walks she tends to stop and make sure he's there - she does look out for him."

I think this is a cute story

1. That was uplifting

After reading so many downer stories, it's pleasant to read about a friendship like this.

2. When my wife's toy poodle went blind

One of our dogs, Hank, would guide her through the dog door to go outside, help her up and down the stairs on the porch and guide her back into the house.
