Famous double act have found a loving new home
An elderly pair of stray dogs found fame recently when it became apparent that Staffie Buzz acts as a guide dog for his blind buddy Glenn. The two have since found a happy new home after endless offers from around the world to take them in.
Nine-year-old Buzz reportedly stays by Glenn's side at all times - helping him on walks and guiding him to his food bowl and bed.
Jack Russell Glenn, aged 10, has a degenerative eye condition that has caused him to lose his sight gradually since birth.
Durham-based charity Stray Aid took the pair in after they were found in a sea tunnel in Hartlepool.
Staff at the charity believe Glenn and Buzz have been lifelong companions.
Their story piqued the interest of national news sources and prompted an outpouring of support on the charity's social media pages.
Offers to rehome them came from as far away as the US, Canada, Europe, South America and Australia.
After a lengthy screening process, they have now been happily rehomed with a UK family.
Charity trustee Susan Critchlow worked closely with the two dogs during their stay at Stray Aid.
"Buzz and Glenn have won the hearts of everyone here at Stray Aid, and seeing them going off to start their new life was emotional," she said. "We’re sorry to see the dogs go, but delighted to have found them such a loving and supportive new home. We wish them and their owners many years of happiness together."
