This Dog Is Blind But He Wasn’t Born That Way…How He Got Here Is Heartbreaking

In early 2015, Liz Haslam, who runs a rescue called BedsforBullies in Barnham, England, received a call from an animal protection group in Turkey about a bull terrier named Eric who’d been cruelly shot with a paintball gun.

It’s very unlikely that he would have survived long without their help.
