After Charlie, an 11-year-old golden retriever, lost his eyesight to glaucoma, the dog had a hard time seeing where he was going. But now the blind dog is getting some help from his very own seeing eye dog, a puppy named Maverick.

But a few months in and now theyâre best buddies, with Charlie learning to rely on his younger sidekick for help with walking, playing, eating and he even uses him as a pillow.
