In 2020, Star and Denver were among a litter of puppies abandoned along with their mother in Louisiana. Though all animals are special and unique, we think we’ve found a pair that stands out even more. The pups were taken to the Helen Woodward Animal Center in Rancho Santa Fe, California, where staff noticed Star was unique right away.
Despite the rest of her siblings playing and doing all the normal puppy stuff, Star stood alone. The staff at the center understood she was deaf and almost blind. She wasn’t indeed alone.
Her younger brother, Denver, watched as she used her other senses to get around and adjust to her new surroundings while her sister acted as a guide dog.
“It’s really extraordinary,” Dora Dahlke, manager of adoption services at Helen Woodward, explained in a press release. “We never stop learning from animals.”
It was reported that Denver and Star were rarely apart now and could only be adopted together – which is understandable.
Denver and Star were finally adopted in June 2020 by suitable owners.
”We are thrilled that they found a forever home with a couple from Encinitas that opened their hearts to this unique bonded pair. They now spend their days exploring the world with each other, with Denver acting as Star’s seeing-eye dog,” a shelter post said.
Having received training from a local expert on how to care for a puppy with special needs, the lucky owners are now preparing to make memories with Denver and Star.
“These two really can teach us all a thing or two about sibling love and how much we can achieve with the love of a goodfriend,” said Dahlke.
