Deaf and Blind Puppy Relies on Her Brother to Explore the World

Two white dogs are playfully interacting, sniffing each other's faces on a dark floor.

At first, Star and Denver might look like your ordinary puppy duo. They play and have fun together all the time.

But Star and Denver’s story wasn’t always as perfect as it looks. As newborns, they were left to survive on the side of the road in Louisiana together with their mom and 6 more puppies.

Of course, they got found and taken care of. The people kept the mother dog and assisted the puppies in finding a new home for themselves.

A light-colored puppy sits on a tiled floor, looking slightly to the side with a curious expression.

Nowadays, there are a lot of abandoned puppies, and the rescue center was already overwhelmed. Fortunately, the saviors contacted the Helen Woodward Animal Center in San Diego.

As soon as they arrived at the center, people realized that Star had special needs. While the other dogs were running around and playing, she was trying to explore her surroundings.

But Denver has always had her back. He doesn’t mind being her eyes and ears. Meanwhile, she’s moving slowly and mapping the shelter, her temporary home.
