Everybody's Special

Ashley from FLORIDA writes: "...Hi Chris: This is Keller, the 7 month old Boxer. I adopted him from a shelter back in April, when he was 3 months old. He only weighed 8 pounds and was a walking skeleton. He's deaf and he's completely blind in one eye and partially blind in the other. I have 4 other dogs and they hate his guts. They know he's a mutant freak and they don't want anything to do with him. "

Oh Ashley, he is lovely! He would have been the one I would have picked too! My cat is partially sighted and I think she is just the best. Keller is the perfect name for him. Give him a hug for me and don't let those other dogs pick on him!!

[Sydney]

I think he's kinda cute, in that odd freakish way...

[Sakuji]

Poor thing. I feel badly for him. I hope the other dogs in his family come around.

Poor thing. I feel badly that the other dogs in his family. I hope they come around. I'll bet he's a real lovable pup.

[Harmoni]

Aw! He's cute, poor dog! Kick those other dog's asses, Keller!

[ddw]

aw, poor guy - no doggie friends. I think he's a cute mutant freak!

Though I'm not deaf, I am half-blind myself and have heterochromatism (left eye is blue, right is green). I met a girl 10 years younger than me with the SAME condition a couple of years ago, living in the same city.

He's not a freak. Conditions like this are more common than you think. To be quite honest he probably thinks your other dogs are idiots though. I remember thinking that about my classmates for not understanding something as simple as vision loss. So what? Big effin deal! You manage. You really do. He'll be fine. I think he looks like a really cool dog. Congrats!

His eye looks like the Earth from space. :)

He's beautiful. I hope things get better. Even a mutant freak needs love.

[amy]

Kiss kiss for him :-*

[Sarah]

He's kind of cute, in a freaky, mutated way.
