They bought a second one, as a pup, and the two are now inseparable. The older boy (still only 2) follows the youngster by sound, and with his limited vision. They are going to add a bell to young one&#39;s collar to provide an audible aid too.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/129384?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 04 Feb 2015 21:56:41 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:87fe64ac-af6e-48a9-a967-9a2db4791be4Gareth C.<p>That&#39;s a great story .
