MacAron “Marvel” is a 4 year old Miniature Schnauz

Marvel came into my life as a miracle. My 17-year-old Border Collie, Chaplin, had just passed after enduring months of seizures from an unknown cause. It was brutal to watch a dog who was such a vibrant, smart dog (he knew all his toys by color and could find a dizzying assortment of items by name) suffer. When he died we thought we could never love another dog as much until Marvel brought joy!

Marvel's growing blindness is an early onset of cataracts which is, we're told, unusual for a dog this young. Within a matter of 6-8 weeks he quickly got bad enough that we noticed his walking into walls and falling. If he can have the surgery at All About Eyes, surgeon Dr. Kelly Sigle indicated he'd have a chance at living with full vision again which would be a blessing for this wonderful dog.

Marvel's fav friend is my Mom's dog, Chantilly, who happens to be his half-sister (same Dad). Before his blindness they played constantly and would take turns at who could reach the "treat puzzle" faster! Since his blindness he seems bewildered and wants to be snuggled by me and Chantilly is happy to look after him! Marvel loves to make snow AND dirt angels. He used to love hide and seek games.

I lost my job from a massive nationwide layoff, my mother lives w/me and she's recovering from her 3rd serious surgery so has her own expenses, I'm close to losing my home, we lost our Fiat only car in HH,so to be able to let Marvel be healthy again would be a blessing.
