Guide Dogs Lead Owners to Love

By Amy Sinatra Ayres | vetstreet.com


Last year, we told you the sweet story of how guide dogs Venice and Rodd fell in love while they were training at a school in England, and led their owners to become inseparable, too.

On Saturday, with their dogs at their sides, Claire Johnson and Mark Gaffey got married. "Our dogs were the class love story," Johnson said. "Everyone used to joke about how Mark's dog Rodd and my dog Venice were meant to be together."

Johnson and Gaffey got to know each other during training with the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association and discovered that they lived only 1.5 miles from each other, so they continued to get their Labrador Retrievers together, and ended up falling in love themselves. "I have no doubt that our guide dogs brought us together and helped me find my true love," Johnson said. "Much like our two guide dogs, we really are best friends and soul mates." - Read it at the U.K.'s Mirror
