Xander isn’t like other dogs. He had both his eyes removed as a pup and has breathing problems after a head injury – but he’s so darn cute, anyway. In 2013, Xander was brought to the Klamath Animal Shelter (which he describes on his website as a “confusing” and “scary” experience). How could his owners forget him?

After being abandoned by the people who he thought loved him, he met Rodney and Marcie. The couple adopted Xander and he quickly passed his American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Test and became a certified therapy dog.
