Blind man keeps his old guide dog after it loses its sight... and then gets a new one who now leads them both around:
After six years of loyal service, Graham Waspe was devastated when his guide dog Edward was left blind after developing cataracts.One thing about huskies; I'm sure they make perfectly awful seeing eye dogs, unless the blind person is willing to take 1000 mile side jaunts through the Yukon Territory in winter.
But his devastation turned to joy when his replacement Opal turned out to be a real gem.
Mr Waspe's new dog is not just aiding his owner to carry out everyday tasks, but also helping Edward to get around.
Mr Waspe, of Stowmarket, Suffolk, received his new dog last November after Edward developed the inoperable problem which resulted in him needing both eyes removed.
And the two-year-old bitch has stepped in where Edward left off as they tour their old haunts together...
