Blind Dog Has Seeing Eye Dog

[xultar]

Ellie, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy, is almost completely blind. Her owner is trying to find the money necessary for eye surgery. In the meantime, Leo, a German Shepherd, has taken up the role of seeing eye dog for Ellie.

1. I love these stories...

Especially the cross species affections. My current fav is the orangutan and the hound dog (video at National Geo and HuffPo)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/03/orangutan-and-dog-become_n_599566.html ... That one makes me smile even when I try not to.

Ahhh, if we could all emulate a bit more of what makes these animals so special....

2. I know right! I love that orangutan and dog one too. That orangutan is

huggin the hell out of that dog and the dog is loving every moment of it.

3. I have to admit seeing that orangutan hugging on that dog...

I now know what I must look like~!

4. Dog's best friend...a big sweet doggie.

“I take them for walks in the park and Leo guides Ellie around. He is so protective and herds the more boisterous dogs away from her,” Julie says.

Gotta love it!

5. A friend once had a cat who was blind

she herself is blind. She has rescued kitties by listening for their mews!

She named the blind kitty "Stevie the Wonder Cat". :-)

11. Awwwwwww. That is so sweet. Meanwhile, I have heard of so many

problems with King Charles dogs, including my in-laws' sweetheart Lolly, who died way too young. So many bad breeders.

BTW...Lolly was purchased from a "top" breeder as my in-laws are very affluent.

15. Donna's one-eyed blind toy poodle had Hank

one of our rescues. Every time she wanted to go outside or get food and water, he would nudge her along through the dog door to outside and go with her and help her find her way back inside.
