It’s the happy ending that Lily the blind great dane and her trusty friend turned guide dog Maddison deserve.

The German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County (CA) had a similar situation several years ago. One GS was blind and his sister acted as guide dog. Sadly the male did not survive due to another condition.
