Spock and Spence




The story of Spock & Spence… These boys were left to fend for themselves in an abandoned house for three weeks. Their owner left them with no food or water in an enclosed yard. We later learned that not only were the dogs hungry, thirsty and terribly frightened - one of them was virtually blind. When we tired to lure them from underneath the porch, it became evident that Spock, whom we have affectionately named; could not see.

Spock and Spence came into the care of loving hands. The big ugly ticks that were embedded in their bodies went away, the bones that poked out disappeared. New to their lives were hugs, consistent meals and a cozy place to sleep. And Spock - well, he can see now. He used to balance himself on his hind legs to be able to see just a little bit. Now, he can see on all four! Spock has recovered from eye-lid surgery and is very happy with his new view on life.
Update: Spence was adopted and we love Spock too much to adopt out!
