This story of a rescue pug from Klamath Falls, Oregon is stealing our hearts! Despite having lost his sight, Xander's smiling face comforts and lifts peoples' spirit thanks to the companionship he offers. The amazing Xander has passed the A.K.C. Canine Good Citizen Test and is a certified Pet Partner's Therapy Dog.
On Xander's Facebook page, his owners Rodney & Marcie Beedy explain that his mission "is to stop violence" but "will comfort the young and old" until then. Because of his charming and loving personality, he often works with victims of child abuse and spousal abuse.
"I began using my other senses, the love in my heart and my many blessings to brighten the days of everyone that I met," Xander writes on his own webpage. "He's amazing in that his blindness does not affect his ability to do his work," Rodney remarked, although the work that Xander accomplishes is pretty amazing in itself.
To the compassionate Pug and his rescuers Rodney & Marcie Beedy, you have won over our hearts. Thanks to the good work that you do! It means more than you'll ever know to those who see his smiling face. And now all we want to do is give Xander a big hug. We feel like he wouldn't mind it either.
