Smiley, the blind service dog, never fails to put a smile on people's faces. Joanne George saved the golden retriever, who was born with dwarfism and without eyes, from a puppy mill at the age of two. Now the dog helps people in need nearly a decade later. "People were so drawn to him, so inspired by him." George said. "I realized this dog has to be a therapy dog - I have to share him." The dog spends hours each day visiting patients at retirement homes, joining special needs kids for a library reading program and comforting patients at nursing homes near Stouffville, Canada.
