Blind Dog Has Her Own Seeing-Eye Dog
These two dogs are more than just best friends, they share a rare bond.
Ellie, a young cavalier King Charles spaniel in England, is almost completely blind. While her owner and a local animal organization are working to raise money for a vision-restoring operation, a German shepherd named Leo has taken matters into his own paws, and is protecting and guiding her.
“Ellie has cataracts on both eyes and is only aware of shadows,” explains Jean Spencer, manager of Rochdale’s Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, in an interview with the Manchester Evening News. “But Leo, who’s an absolutely massive dog, has become her eyes. It’s touching to watch them together. She follows him around and snuggles up to him.”
World Naked Bike Ride hits St. Louis
World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) rolls out this Saturday night, June 19th here in St. Louis.
The purpose of the ride:
- To promote cyclist awareness
- To protest oil dependency
- To promote comfortable body image
- To bring together cycling community
Participants are encouraged to go “as bare as they dare,” though nudity is by no means necessary. You’re welcome to come fully clothed, covered in body paint, in your underwear, in a crazy costume… last year, we had a pretty good mix of the above.
I should probably go out and cover this event.
I should go down and cover this event.
The devil made me do it
Looks like Gus as a puppy.
Thanks Mike (from Spain)
