Yes I have seen this picture before but my facebook page is mostly animal rescues anyway. They were up for adoption and were adopted together.
My little guy lost an eye last year and this year his remaining one is giving him fits. He is getting little fluid filled bubbles on his eye that are painful. He is handling it like a trooper which is unusual for him since I have him cause he was a biter if you tried to pick him up. Now he waits for me to pick him up and put him on the floor or on the bed. I am making him go downstairs etc. It's painful for me to watch him run into things but he has to learn to get around. Anyway. I am now a " seeing eye Person" lol ... My DD said he needs a seeing eye chihuahua. But he really doesn't like other dogs near him. He ok if they are in the room just don't touch him.
I wish he had a buddy I would feel better.

I have a blind rescue horse. My daughter walked her around the pasture for a few days to let her get to know the lay of the land. She would count the steps from fence to fence. She knows where to stand by her feed bucket when feeding time comes. My pygmy goats keep her company and she gets around great. I have a great dane and his best friend is a Boston Terrier mix.

Love the picture story and also your quote. That is what we all need to do. Fly as high as you can!

Both eyes removed. For the last 5 years, Madison , another Great Dane, has been her sight.
The two are, of course, inseparable.
