They removed one and then the pressure was too much for the other.<br/><br/>“It was just a year-and-a-half ago that he had the operation.”<br/><br/>Since losing his sight, Benedict has learned to follow people’s voices or a bell which helpers ring to guide him.<br/><br/>Kelly, who cares for 36 dogs at the centre, added: “It’s very sad that he hasn’t been adopted yet. <br/><br/>“He deserves a home and has done so well with adapting.<br/><br/>\")
