“Four-year-old Sandie has proved she really is a girl’s best friend – by learning to do all of her owner’s housework. The four-year-old pooch does all of owner Sue Line’s shopping and washing – and can even pay for her groceries. The Terrier-cross accompanies Ms Line, who is paralysed from the waist down, to the supermarket – putting all of her shopping in a bag, which she then carries around in her mouth. When they come to the checkout Sandie can even take money from her owner’s purse and hand it over to the shop assistant. Sandie also loads the washing machine – separating her dirty clothes into dark and light loads and locking the machine door before the cycle begins. She has also mastered how to unlock the kitchen door to let herself out to the toilet – and always remembers to close it behind her on her way back.” w/ photos
