00:00Anywhere I went, I would make these clicking noises and his ears would perk up and he would
00:11just prance on over to me.
00:14He really used me as his seeing eye human.
00:25Somebody brought in a box of puppies.
00:28And then there's this one with no eyes.
00:31I noticed one of them had no eyes, so instantly I thought, nobody's going to want a puppy
00:36with no eyes.
00:37It's so hard to find homes for them.
00:39Look at you.
00:40Oh my goodness.
00:42Hello.
00:43So I took him and I fostered him.
00:47What did you do?
00:49Can you get down?
00:52There were a few hiccups at first with him learning how to exist in the world as a blind,
00:58tiny little puppy.
00:59Where are you?
01:00Hey.
01:01Hello.
01:02I'm right here.
01:05His bond with me definitely helped him adjust to life without eyes.
01:11Hi, buddy.
01:12But then he grew to learn the sound of my footsteps.
01:16Where are you?
01:17Mommy.
01:18Oh my goodness.
01:19So I don't have to do the clicking noises anymore.
01:22Sit.
01:24Good boy.
01:26Each day, we became closer and closer to each other.
01:30Why are you so cute?
01:33Charles loves to sleep on my head at night.
01:37I'll just put his body on my face and sleep that way.
01:42He is like the softest, sweetest, most attached dog.
01:49Hey.
01:51Charles is the first dog that I've felt a similar bond with since my heart dog, Tassie.
01:57She passed last year.
01:59And it's been hard to fill that void because she was a very special dog.
02:05Having Charles around has been a great source of comfort.
02:08You're so cute.
02:10He's just so attached and wants to be part of everything my family does.
02:16Come here.
02:17Come on.
02:18Come on.
02:19There's an organization I co-founded that sends dogs off Guam and Saipan to adopters
02:23and rescues stateside.
02:25Hi.
02:27And there was a flight that went out a few weeks ago.
02:30And that was the one that Charles was supposed to go on.
02:33But he didn't.
02:34He missed his flight.
02:35Well, I mean, he intentionally missed his flight.
02:38Guys, I have something to tell you.
02:41I'm keeping Charles.
02:43Yay!
02:46We decided to adopt Charles officially.
02:51My family was super excited that we decided to keep Charles.
02:57I simply couldn't imagine life without him in it.
03:05You're always on my foot.
03:07Huh?
