Sterling is an 11 year old Siberian Husky who went blind due to glaucoma, a disease of the eye that rendered him sightless.  This made him very very sad until he got his very own service dog and now he has a new leash on life.  See what I did there? ;)

Sterling's new friend is a ten year old Alaskan Malamute that is the life of the party.  His owners describe him as "boisterous" and that has made a world of difference for Sterling.  These two are now a social media sensation.

For their outings Sterling's owners fashioned  a special pair of goggles to protect Sterling's eyes and the two pups even have matching bandanas.  And just so Walker the service dog doesn't feel left out, he even has his pair of doggy goggles too.  To learn more about this amazing duo, check it out in the New York Post.
