Stray lab rescues blind dog by becoming canine-guidedog

A lucky homeless dog has been given a whole new lease of life by another stray mutt. Two-year-old Tanner was born blind and has a seizure disorder. He was sent to Sooner Golden Retriever Rescue organization, Oklahoma City, after his owner died. Due to the stress of his loss, his seizures became worse, making him hard to look after as he would defecate and urinate when fitting.

Local vet, Mike Jones of Woodland West Animal Hospital, Tulsa, told ABC News he even recommended putting the dog down, to relieve Tanner of his - and his caretakers' - misery.

Fortunately for young Tanner, Blair, a one-year-old black labrador, has shown uncanny empathy for his new friend and now has taken the role as his guide.

Staff say the dogs' bond is extraordinary. (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2136936/Stray-labrador-rescues-blind-pooch-canine-canine-guide-dog.html)
