As the mother of a blind child anytime I hear a story related to blindness it touches me. Yesterday I found out about a blind dog named lily and her guide dog Maddison. Both are in need of a home. The manager of Dogs Trust Shrewsbury UK Louise Campbell has stated she has been inundated by over 200 callers in since the story about the dogs first aired. They have been at this location since July where people would just walk by lily and Maddison’s cage. Perhaps they were intimidated by taking care of 2 large dogs?
When Lily was a puppy she had a disease called entropion which causes the eyelashes to grow inwards. The condition forced the vet to remove her eyes thus leaving her blind. After the surgery a dog named Maddison developed a special relationship with Lily. They have been best buddies and inseparable for the last 5 years. Maddison actually acts as Lily’s seeing eye dog so these two are a package that should not be separated. Even with all of the calls they have not yet gone to their forever home.
I have tried to locate Lily and Maddison but it seems the dog trust has removed their pictures and information from the website. Perhaps they feel that they have had enough interest to find a suitable home.
