«Breaking News» Puppy love! Blind 11-year-old golden retriever receives a helping paw from his own seeing-eye dog

An 11-year-old golden retriever who lost his eyes to glaucoma found his very own service animal in his puppy companion.

'Two best buds living life to the fullest,' according to their shared Instagram account, Charlie, the blind older dog, has been receiving aid from the energetic Maverick, a 4-month-old puppy.

Chelsea and Adam Stipe, the owners of the two canines from Mooresville, North Carolina, has had Charlie since he himself was a puppy, when he lose his left eye due to the degenerative disease back in 2016, according to NBC Philadelphia.

'For us it was a no-brainer,' Chelsea Stipe said after Charlie needed to have his other eye removed in 2017. 'Empty our retirement plan to care for this dog because he makes us happy.'

Not long after, Chelsea said she wanted to get another puppy while she was pregnant so that their child would have a dog of their own to grow up with. 

Maverick joined the family on New Year's Day of this year, but needed some time to win over the older member of the household.  When the puppy did, he noticed his new friend had some differences to accommodate.

According to Chelsea, Maverick would notice that Charlie would lose track of the toy during play time, so the helpful puppy would place it back in front of him to continue the fun. 

'They almost turn into little sled dogs where they'll walk together,' Chelsea also said of how the golden retrievers would support each other during outings.

The duo's heartwarming story went viral after Chelsea sent it to the social media account WeRateDogs, a humorous account that pretends to grade dogs on a scale of one to 10, but ends up rating them higher than 10.

'This is Charlie and Maverick. Charlie had his eyes removed due to glaucoma, but then Maverick came along as his little helper,' the post featured on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram reads. 'Now they're doing amazing. Both 14/10.'

With the post becoming wildly popular, WeRateDogs suggested that the four-legged friends get their own social media presence, and the Stipes made the Instagram account charlieandmav garnering almost 45,000 followers so far.

'Everything has just been so positive and loving and I've even had people reaching out about their dogs who had glaucoma,' Chelsea said. 

Charlie wasn't keen on the addition of a new member of the family, but Maverick eventually grew on him

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
