Luke is just a pup at 1 year old. It's hard to say how much of his short life he's been blind. Luckily his blindness didn't stop Andrea from falling for his goofy charm and adopting him from Distinguished Doberman Rescue in January. Unfortunately seizures began within 2 months and so began the trips to Cornell University Hospital for Animals. It's been an expensive road to diagnosis and treatment, but, nearly $7000.00 and a brain shunt later, he is a healthier boy. Andrea and David didn't hesitate to incur the debt to give Luke a fair shake at life. Please visit Luke's Page for more of his special story and to learn more about his condition and treatment...
