A friend sent me this,

A DOG'S SEEING EYE DOG

Lily is a Great Dane that has been blind since a bizarre medical

condition required that she have both eyes removed.

For the last 5 years, Maddison, another Great Dane, has been her sight.

The two are, of course, inseparable.

That's very sweet. :heart:

I wonder if the blind dog is the product of double merle mating.

Kirislin's link mentioned that the eyelashes had grown into the eye. Poor dear dog.

I wondered whether it was double merle breeding as well. I am not surprised that there would be serious eye problems with a dog with that extent of white. Not much pigment in that dog at all. Very sad.

a bit more about these 2. It seems they were in a shelter but it looks like it's got a happy ending.
