This photograph is of our friend Susie.
She has MS and is confined to a wheelchair.
Ben, the dog, is not hers but that of an elderly neighbour.
Susie takes Ben out with her carers several times a week.
We try to meet up with her as often as we can.
Ben is very protective of Susie but he and our dog, Opal, have learned to be in each other's space.
Despite her disability, Susie is one of the most positive and lovely women I have ever met.
She is a writer, a poet and an activist.
