Great Dane Lily’s prospects of leading a happy life appeared to be slim when disease caused vets to amputate her eyes.
Nobody had predicted, though, that Lily’s friend Maddison would step up and take on the role of guide dog.
For years, these two have been inseparable. Now that their owner is unable to care for them, they find themselves looking for a new home.
The special feature of adopting them both is that Lily and Maddison come as a set. Since July, they have been waiting patiently at the Dogs Trust rehoming center located in Shrewsbury.
The manager, Louise Campbell, revealed that Madison serves as Lily’s guide dog. When they go out together, Maddison usually takes the lead and Lily follows her cues by keeping a close distance from her. It’s quite touching to see. Maddison watches out for her all the time.
Lily contracted a disease as a puppy that caused her eyelashes to grow into her eyeballs, causing irreversible damage.
During this period, Lily was taken under Maddison’s wing by the seven-year-old, and their relationship strengthened.
Together, these devoted friends lived until their former owners decided they could no longer take care of them. Miss Campbell said that although Lily is blind, her other senses have become more acute. Even though they don’t spend a lot of time apart, Lily can tell when Maddison is close. When they go to sleep, they cuddle up together and speak to one another.
Although they haven’t examined their barks in detail, Miss Campbell pointed out that Maddison’s bark pitch shifts if Lily wants to move but she doesn’t. A bond exists between the two dogs. Take pleasure in each other’s company.
Miss Campbell said Lily acts like any other dog, and from a distance, it’s impossible to tell that she’s blind. She added that both dogs have a positive attitude toward life and consistently perceive the silver lining in situations.
After spending some time together, they are happy. Observe their daily schedule with affection. Miss Campbell also mentioned that their age, size, and the need to be adopted as a pair would have turned off potential adopters. She recommended that anyone thinking about adopting them evaluate their lifestyle and comprehend the obligations that come with it.
When you see them in person, they don’t seem that big. She said, “These two amazing big girls need to be able to live out the rest of their lives together in a setting.
