Compassionate Boy Determined To Help Near Blind Dog See

Compassionate 12 year old boy, Jack McPadden, would like nothing more than to see his neighbor’s near blind dog, Brody, someday cured of a disease that threatens his eyesight.

Determined to help, Jack recently appealed to his schoolmates and raised $211.05 toward anticipated veterinary bills, coupled with an additional $100 from his own family and that is just a start, he says.
Jack will be thrilled when Brody can see again, but he will never actually see it himself. That is because ever since he was 9 months old, Jack himself has been totally blind.
Jack lives in Winchester, Mass., but his new friendship with Brody can be attributed to the compassion of Cumberland’s Debbie Fahrenholtz, who established the nonprofit “Just a Touch Rescue,” a volunteer agency dedicated to finding adoptive homes for special needs dogs.
