Owner Info: DOB 9/27/2004. Buddy's dad passed away on November 30th 2011. Buddy is now in the care of his Dad’s 17 year old daughter, he belonged to both of them. Her aunt and uncle are taking her back to Switzerland with them so she cannot take continue to take care of Buddy. She loves him so much and can’t bear the thought of being without him. Buddy adjusts well to new situations, recently he did so well in the vets office she had trouble telling he was blind. She could only tell when she shone a light in his eyes and they did not react. The vet said he was probably around 80% blind because of his cataracts, his arthritis in his hips is easily controlled with a medication called Previcox. Buddy is an inside dog with the run of the house, he is housebroken and leash trained. He is good with people and children of all ages and good with dogs, cats and other small animals. He is the sweetest dog his owner has ever known. She will be leaving January 4th and desperately wants to get him homed by then.
