Ernie

Update

“THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! The blue angel wings arrived a couple days ago, and Ernie almost immediately realized the possibilities! Now he no longer crashes his face into things. The wings are going to give him a lot more confidence. He is getting acclimated to the rescue, and the other dogs, and even managed to catch a gopher! Attached are some photos. Our rescue is pretty remote, and I don’t yet have a smart phone, so we are a little technologically impaired. I hope the photos will be enough for now. I have a friend who is a professional photographer, who is planning to come up soon. I will ask for her help.
Thank you so much for all the good work you do. I hope your network might be able to help us find a good home for this sweet little boy. Loving homes for dogs are hard to find around here.

Backstory

“Last week our rescue took in an older red Heeler mix, who is completely blind. He had been chained up (as he probably had been his whole life) and abandoned. Ernie is so sweet and affectionate, but the poor guy runs full tilt into his kennel mesh, and I know it has to hurt. Our kennels are large, and he has probably never before had such freedom to move around. He is probably used to always being stopped by his chain, before he can meet an obstacle. We brought him straight to our vet, who examined him and concluded there is nothing that could be done to restore even a little of his vision. So I remembered your invention, and wondered if it would be possible to arrange to get a Muffin’s Halo for him.
