Amy and Bonnie

Amy and Bonnie are New Zealand based. Amy has cerebral palsy, and having Bonnie means she is able to maintain her independence and grow in confidence. Mobility and assistance dogs have the same rights as guide dogs in New Zealand, meaning they are able to use public transport and access supermarkets, restaurants and cafes etc. Her family and friends have a greater sense of confidence for Amy's safety now that she has Bonnie, knowing that she is trained to help Amy should she get into difficulty. Bonnie is also trained for unusual tasks like helping Amy transfer from her wheelchair to bed, by stiffening her back Bonnie is able to take Amy's full body weight!
