Two border collies, called Bonnie and Clyde have a very close relationship: Clyde is blind, and Bonnie looks out for him and helps him get around:

Cherie Cootes, from Meadowgreen Dog Rescue Centre, in Hales, near Loddon, said they could not be separated.

“If Clyde’s unsure where he is, he will suddenly go behind Bonnie and put his face on the back of her so she can guide him, he totally relies on her,” said Ms Cootes.

“And when she walks she tends to stop and make sure he’s there – she does look out for him.

“When she’s about you wouldn’t notice he is blind, but when she’s not about he refuses to move.
