I personally adore this dog. We took him along with 11 others from home in Bassett Virginia. When we got him, he was absolutely terrified. Both of his eyes were almost swollen shut. He was in constant pain from entropion. Heidi started putting compresses on his eyes every day to relieve some of the inflammation until the vet could schedule him for surgery. He had surgery on both eyes to correct the problem. Today he is pain-free and a completely different dog, he is happy and loving and will make someone a wonderful companion.
