Bourne family helped by Sadie the assistance dog
A trained assistance dog has made a big change to the lives of a family in Lincolnshire whose sons have a rare, life-limiting genetic condition Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
Sadie is a 'Dogs for Good' assistance dog who can open doors for 13-year-old Ben and nine-year-old Sam.
The boys also say their canine companion can help take their socks off, offer licks and keep them company at night.
