Meet Good Sort Bindi
Assistance dog Bindi has made the world of difference to Wellington-based author Helen Fletcher, who suffers from multiple auto-immune disorders.

Before she had Bindi to sleep heavily on her legs at night, she would get up and move around the house in response to hallucinations she’d suffered since she was a child.
During the Covid-19 lockdown earlier in the year, when Helen spent 12 weeks at home alone because immune-compromised, Bindi rescued Helen from a fall.
