Asur was a Military Working Dog (MWD) that I adopted from the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton, California. After a deployment in Afghanistan, Asur returned home with different health issues. The main issue was with his sight. Asur had developed Glaucoma. A variety of meds could not control the disease. After much bleeding and incredible pain, the decision was made to have a bilateral enucleation. Both his eyes were fully removed and sewn shut.
Inside activity limited due to crashing into things. Outside Asur has learned to be off leash on our property and has a better level of activity. Still without commands, while running free, he will run into bushes and trees. Hopefully, the halo will allow him more freedom and less bumps inside and out!

“My baby Asur with his halo. He hasn’t been able to be as active as his bomb sniffing days, in the Marines, once he became blind during his deployment in Afghanistan. But since, an angel from Second Chances For Blind Dogs donated his Muffin’s Halo Quarterback Style, he has been running all over the place :) Thank you for assisting in his retirement. This K9Hero is very happy~!

Yay! For Asur :)
