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. (

Boise_Libsays...<snif> got somethin in my eyes.
Esoogsays...Must be the dust in the air...or allergies...yeah, thats it. Cause I got it too. Thats a good story. An animal they wanted to rescue from its misery, found rescue in another dog. And no more seizures. That says a lot for compassion and caring. Even in dogs.
PlayhousePalssays...That's about as heartwarming a story as I've ever seen. (Sniffle)
