Our son volunteered at a very impoverished school in Cambodia. There was a litter of dogs at the place where he had breakfast, and one of the dogs was born without eyes. They were going to euthanize him, but Alex rescued him and brought him home to America. He got his name because he was born at the Sunshine Cafe. He compensates for his lack of sight remarkably well with his other senses. We take him on hikes off leash and he knows where the trail is! He has everything in our home and yard memorized.
