A BORDER collie overcame some of the difficulties of being blind – by having his own guide dog.

The inseparable pair, named Bonnie and Clyde, do all everyday activities together – including eating, sleeping and going for walkies, the Daily Mail reports.

Because two-year-old Clyde is blind, he relies on fellow border collie Bonnie to guide him to water and food.

Cherie Cootes from the Meadow Green Dog Rescue Centre in the eastern England township of Loddon said there was no way she could allow someone to separate the pair.

“Clyde relies on Bonnie the whole time,” Ms Cootes said. “When she walks she tends to stop and make sure he's there - she does look out for him.

“They really are the most lovely pair of dogs.”
