Arrival Story:
I was looking for a special needs Chihuahua and luckily met Gorky, then Lucky. I met him as a foster dog and within minutes knew he was mine permanently He had been extremely physically abused to the point of being 100% blind. He has a lot of buckshot in his face, amongst other places, which I believe caused his blindness. It was rough the first few weeks, but he quickly learned to adapt and now many people have a hard time telling he's completely blind (when they can't see his face).

Bio:
He couldn't be any more of a joy to live with. He goes to work with me every day and loves all his coworkers. He is able to jump on/off the couch with ease and has the run of the house when at home.
