Humans can be so cruel, evil and just plain fucked up
my heart goes out to these beautiful dogs. I sure hope they get a home. Poor Clyde :cry:



Collies usually round up sheep not each other... but as the eyes of her blind canine companion, little Bonnie steers Clyde away from trouble.

The five-year-old long-haired border collie, who has lost his sight because of a degenerative disease, relies entirely on Bonnie as his guide dog. He follows her everywhere.

And like the American gangster lovers they have been named after, the friendly dogs are on the lookout for a safe, new hideaway.

They were recently dumped in the street during a storm and are currently being cared for at Meadow Green Dog Rescue Centre in Hales Green, near Loddon in Norfolk.

The centre's Cherie Cootes said: "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.

A driver found the dogs running through Blundeston, near Lowestoft, Suffolk, during a storm three weeks ago. Neither Clyde nor Bonnie - a short-haired border collie aged two or three - had identifying collars or chips.

6. Better not take a dog on the space shuttle, because if he sticks his head out when you're
coming home his face might burn up. - Jack Handey

3. Words fail me---they were dumped on the street during a storm?
I'm sure a good home is awaiting them.

How could anyone abandon these precious dogs?

I know there must be many who feel similarly in G. Britain... :loveya:
