Life for older dogs isn’t easy. They’re often the least likely to be adopted, and their own families often leave them behind to avoid taking care of their health .
The Hughes family loves opening their doors to as many puppies as possible and always makes sure they come from this organization. One of them is the beautiful Gremlin .
The vet discovered it was cataracts . Cataracts cause the lens of the eye to become cloudy and eventually lead to total blindness. Gremlin’s condition worsened, and the poor little dog was bumping into walls, freaking out whenever anyone came near, and even refusing to play with other dogs.
Chris and Mariesa knew they had to take action. They met with a veterinary ophthalmologist and prepared for surgery . But the poor Gremlin’s vision seemed to be getting worse.
This solution could be very expensive , especially for a family responsible for so many older dogs. Dr. Petra Lackner didn’t want to give up and decided to try human contact lenses.
As soon as the sweet little dog got his glasses , his life seemed to change completely . He started walking much more confidently around the house. He seemed extremely relieved to no longer bump into walls and could even drink water from his dish without making a huge mess.
