An 11-year-old golden retriever who lost his eyes to glaucoma found his very own service animal in his puppy companion.
'Two best buds living life to the fullest,' according to their shared Instagram account, Charlie, the blind older dog, has been receiving aid from the energetic Maverick, a 4-month-old puppy.
Chelsea and Adam Stipe, the owners of the two canines from Mooresville, North Carolina, has had Charlie since he himself was a puppy, when he lose his left eye due to the degenerative disease back in 2016, according to NBC Philadelphia.
'For us it was a no-brainer,' Chelsea Stipe said after Charlie needed to have his other eye removed in 2017. 'Empty our retirement plan to care for this dog because he makes us happy.'
