Blind Dog, Loyal Brother Adopted
Ray Little, Operation Ava
These two puppies exemplify brotherly love.
The eight-month old puppies that have been melting hearts since a picture of them embracing (see below) was posted on the web a week ago are being adopted, just in time for the holidays.
Jeffrey, who is blind, and his brother Jermaine will head to their new home together on Monday, according to Operation Ava, a no-kill rescue organization in Philadelphia.
"The unconditional love and devotion these two dogs show is positively inspirational," wrote an SPCA spokesperson on the group's Facebook page.
What's even more inspirational is the fact that Jermaine has dedicated his life to being his brother's seeing eye dog.
"I think this is a little bit
extraordinary in my experience because they're so careful with one
another and play together so well," said Ray Little, Director of Life
Saving at Operation Ava. "Jeffrey really does try to maintain contact
with Jermaine, especially when he's in an unfamiliar environment. As
soon as he gets familiar with a new place, then he becomes a little bit
more independent. But it's amazing how they try to maintain contact
with each other."
The pups, believed to be lab-pit mixes, were found on a Philadelphia street in October and were taken in by Operation Ava.
The rescue organization received more
than 10,000 inquires and multiple applications after the photo of
Jeffrey and Jermaine hugging while sleeping was posted by the Chester
County SPCA on Friday, Nov. 15. They were able to place the dog brothers in the same home.
Jeffrey and Jermaine reached
celebrity status when the photo, and a video produced by Drexel Hill
native Tom Hickey caught the attention of Ryan Seacrest who posted the
heartwarming story on his website.
