Owner Info: Duke is an indoor dog confined to one area of the house.  He is housebroken, leash trained, and knows the sit, be a good boy and go to the bathroom commands.  He has never gone on furniture.  Duke is good with people of all ages, other dogs, cats, and other small animals.  Duke had lived with another dog at one point and they were fine and he has been around cats and bunnies - he was good with them all.  Before he went blind he used to play at the dog park with all different dogs.  Duke had glaucoma and was given drops but they didn't reverse the problem.  He went blind and had one eye removed about 2 years ago.  Soon after, the other eye had to be removed due to pain and pressure.  At this point, we did a new procedure that took the fluid out of the eye and turned it "off."  He was seen by an eye specialist in Norwalk, CT.  He is overall healthy besides his blindness.  He underwent ACL surgery years ago but gets around fine.
