Every week, while I am walking dogs at Maxfund, I fall in love with a dog. This week it was Greta, a blind nine year old brindle mastiff. She is not completely blind, but she does require some help while walking to make sure that she doesn't run into anything. While walking with Greta she will nudge your legs to ensure that her seeing eye human is still there. However, Greta stole my heart because of her endless love. When we stopped and I took this photo, she was using her paw to tell me to keep petting her chest. She was so happy just to have someone giving her all the affection that she deserves. Not to mention she knows sit, wait, lay down, and walks very gently on the leash (which is a good thing, because this girl comes up to my waist and is a true giant).
I am hopeful that Greta will find her loving, forever home soon. She still has a lot of life to live and would make a great pet for a family that doesn't mind being her eyes during walks.

Oh my goodness, who couldn't love Greta. She looks adorable. Speaking of sweet girls, please update us on Gracie. Where is she now? Thanks for all you do at Maxfund!
