Lucy the one-eyed chihuahua is 3 years old, and owner Marian Madsen rescued her from Kinder Critters this past April. No one knows for sure how Ruby lost her eye, but she’s adapted to partial blindness just fine, Madsen says. Madsen’s 16-year-old chihuahua, Ruby, died in February, and she wasn’t sure she was ready for another dog. “I was looking online, and I saw Lucy’s little one-eyed head and her little under-bite, and I fell in love,” she says. Madsen thinks Lucy had been in shelters a long time before she was adopted, and when she came home, “she was a mess,” Madsen says. But she’s had training since then, and she’s gained some weight. Lucy wasn’t sure at first whether she was really home. “I could see it in her little eye,” her owner says. More recently, she has relaxed and is one of the family.
