[Dailydrool] Help Teddy the blind basset puppy get the vet care he needs

[Leanne Potts]

It doesn't get much more pitiful than a blind basset hound puppy. But that's
what BRBR has taken in, a six-week old basset baby who has been blinded by
glaucoma -- and human neglect. The puppy's name is Teddy, and he's the
product of backyard breeders in rural Tennessee. When Teddy got sick shortly
after his birth, they didn't take him to a vet --- medical costs cut into
profit margins, you see.

As a result, Teddy is blind. He can live without sight and do just fine; his
hound nose will help him navigate the world. But he needs his remaining,
damaged eye removed. He also may have a heart ailment and needs to be
checked out by a canine cardiologist.

He's under the care of Belly Rubs Basset Rescue, and they are raising money
to pay Teddy's medical bills. Give what you can; even $10 will help.

You can donate online with a credit card. All donations are secure and sent
directly to Bellyrubs Basset Rescue by Firstgiving, who will email you a
printable record of your donation.

Thanks for helping the little guy. He'd like a chance to grow up.
