Guide dog for pooch

A guide dog in the UK was given its own guide dog after it lost its sight.

Graham Waspe, 60, had been assisted by trusty Edward for six years when the canine had to have both his eyes removed due to inoperable cataracts.

However, Graham, who is registered blind, was so attached to the pooch he decided to get two-year-old Opal to help both him and Edward.

He said: "My wife and I cried when we heard Edward had glaucoma and would be losing his sight but we were determined to keep caring for him."

"Since losing his sight last October, he has just adapted incredibly well. He and Opal are very affectionate and just love to lie down together."
