Bonnie and blind Clyde get new home
A new home has been found for Clyde, the blind border collie, and his guide dog, Bonnie, both of whom were found wandering on a country road in Suffolk, England.
More than 500 people came forward to offer a home to Bonnie and Clyde, who the Meadowgreen Dog Rescue center insisted not be separated, according to a BBC report.
It is believed Clyde lost his sight because of a degenerative disease.
The border collies were taken yesterday to start a new life with an unnamed owner at home in South Norfolk, the Eastern Daily Press reported. Apparently the original owner never came forward.
But Cherie Cootes of the rescue center said there was overwhelming interest in the two dogs.
“It’s been bizarre to say the least,” she said. “We’ve had calls from America, Australia, a Brazilian TV station who want to come down and do a bit of filming, and a German television station.”
The dogs were found running through Blundeston, near Lowestoft in Suffolk, during a storm three weeks ago.
Neither Clyde, believed to be about five years old, nor Bonnie, estimated to be around three, had identifying collars or microchips.
