A story of two dog brothers reuniting after staying apart for nearly a decade was shared on social media. The emotional story has tugged at the heartstrings of many. Both brothers worked as guide dogs and met each other after retiring from their jobs.
Guide Dogs, an organisation that provides ‘life-changing support, skills and dogs to people living with sight loss in the UK’, shared the story on Instagram.
“Reunited in retirement. Meet Carlo and Chips - two guide dog brothers born nearly a decade ago and living with different guide dog owners, now reunited to spend their golden years in the same local area! Fin, Chips rehomer, said ‘Chips had a great time being reunited with Carlo earlier this month and they ran around together like they were puppies again’,” the organisation wrote on Instagram.
