Dewy is a sweet, friendly puppy who gets along with every person and dog he meets. He is blind in one eye, but that certainly does not slow him down! He does have a liver shunt. Hopefully we can have this operated on. We will know more after his surgeon visit. Right now, he's doing well on a special low protein diet. Please consider giving this special little guy a special forever home.
