Glenn is getting on in years, and has become totally blind.  He now totally relies on Buzz to get by day to day, and because of this, they are a package deal.

They were rescued out of a sea tunnel in Hartlepool, England.  They were then taken to Stray Aid.  They’re an animal shelter not far from the point they were rescued.

It was during a medical work up that Glenn’s blindness was discovered.  They also found out that the two absolutely refuse to be apart from each other.  Staff had initially tried, but it was ultimately found to be impossible.

The shelter is also refusing to separate them.  If people are inquiring about adoptions should know, they are 100% a package deal.  No ifs, ands or buts about it.  They go together, or not at all.

Stray Aid Center Manager John Bielby said, “If one of them is taken out, the other will become distressed and start to cry.  They have to be kept together, they don’t like be being separated.”

Glenn and Buzz truly do have a special and unique relationship.  Buzz usually will start off a bit ahead of Glenn as they go for a walk, or just get from place to place.  He even uses a bit of vocalization to signal feeding time, and even let’s Glenn finish off his meal for him.  Buzz takes care of his buddy just the same way a dog does for a person.

It isn’t really known how long they’ve been together, or even how long either has been on the street.  It’s also unknown if Buzz has had seeing eye dog training.  What is known is Buzz and Glenn have an amazing relationship, and will need a forever home for two.

It’s suspected that poor Polly was used to breed, endlessly.  Once she was no longer of any use to the people that abused her for so long, they simply decided to leave her for dead somewhere.

Foreverhome Pet Rescue said that she not only had given birth very recently, but was also suffering from a heart condition and a very serious skin infection.  A fundraiser was set up for her, and she would soon be on the road to recovery.

She has her very own Facebook page, where Foreverhome keeps her progress documented.  If you’d like to view the page, and check out her current condition, you can click here.  If you’d like to see Foreverhome Pet Rescue’s Facebook page, click here.  If you’d like their main page, click here.

Everyone, meet Norman, a courageous yellow Labrador Retriever who saved the life of a girl named Lisa Nibbley. Norman was abandoned by his previous. Luckily a couple named Annette and Steve McDonalds rescued him just before the day he was scheduled to be put to sleep. It was not long after he was adopted that the couple noticed there was something wrong with Norman’s eyesight. When they had it checked at the vet, they discovered that Norman had Retinal Atrophe, a condition with no cure, which would then lead to blindness. After a few years, Norman lost his eyesight. Then one day, as Norman and Annette were strolling the beach, they saw and heard Lisa Nibbley in the water, yelling for help. Watch the video below and see how heroic story ended!

Norman is one amazing dog! He may be blind but that didn’t hold him back from saving a life. This blind dog is truly a hero!
