Pawsitive News: Dog whose eyes had to be removed after being neglected finds a loving furever home

[Sugar Cookie]

An adorable dog has found a new best friend and forever home after abuse and neglect left her blinded.

Terrier mix, Puddin, one, was born with sight, but a rough start to life left authorities with no choice but to remove her infected eyes and sew her eye-sockets shut before she found happiness with a new owner in Texas.

Cute pictures show the adorable pooch loving life, playing fetch without a care in the world, toying with a cloth stuck on her head, and snuggling up with new owner and student, Cory Gonzales, 23, from Lubbock.

Despite her lack of sight, Puddin can clearly still show emotion as these heart-warming pictures show. The happy pup can be seen rocking a pair of sunglasses and happily playing with her toy bone.

While it is unknown what caused the pup's diseased eyes, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Texas (SCPA) had to take the case to court to rescue the six-week-old mistreated mutt.

'She either was scratched during play or maybe got into something worse. Her owners sought medical help so late that it progressed and got pretty severe,' said Cory.

'They let it get so bad before going to the vets that animal control was called to see if they could help. When asked to hand Puddin over the neglectful owners refused, so a long drawn out legal battle began.

'At the end of it Puddin was saved, but her eyes were destroyed. They were causing her too much pain. She was blind and needed to have her eyes removed.'

After seeing the cuddly young dog on an internet ad, the Cory was captivated by the then four-month-old canine and gave her a forever home.

Dog-lover Cory is now on a mission to encourage owners to adopt and not shop for pooches, to raise awareness that even visually impaired pets are perfect.

'I think just because a dog needs special attention or has special needs doesn't mean it's going to be any more different or difficult than raising a typically developing dog.

'We haven't had any added challenges with Puddin other than working on additional commands such as watch out or up and down for stairs.'

Puddin leads a high-quality life taking long naps and trips to the dog park with pooch-pal Murphy, just like any other dog.
