Two eight-month old puppies are being adopted.
Jeffrey, who is blind, and his brother Jermaine will head to their new
home together on Monday. The pups, believed to be lab-pit mixes, were
found on a Philadelphia street in October and were taken in by Operation
Ava.
"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."
