SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD: Blind Couple To Marry After Their Guide Dogs Fall In Love

Blind couple fall in love-Claire Johnson and Mark Gaffey

Is that not sweet? You surely do not need your eyes to fall in love…Love is a feeling, it should not be founded on sight!

According to Metro;

A blind couple are set to marry after being drawn together by their lovestruck guide dogs.

Claire Johnson, 50, and Mark Gaffey, 52, first met during a two-week guide dog training course.

Claire’s dog Venice struck up a friendship with fellow service dog Rodd, with the pair quickly becoming inseparable.

Claire and Mark, brought together by Venice and Rodd’s romance, soon became romantically involved themselves and eleven months later the pair have decided to tie the knot.

Mr Gaffey explained to the Telegraph: ‘During the training our two dogs, Rodd and Venice, seemed to know something we didn’t.

‘They were always playing together and nuzzling up together.

‘The trainers said that they were the love and romance of the course, and they brought us together.’

The pair, from Hanford, Stoke-On-Trent, got engaged during filming for ITV show Me and My Guide Dog, with Ms Johnson saying: ‘I suppose I can never say I will forget the day I got engaged. And it wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for our dogs.

‘Rodd and Venice sleep in the same bed and are as much a couple as me and Mark.

‘They will be walking us down the aisle and be ring bearers. This wedding is down to them.’
