When it became clear that Charlie’s vision had greatly diminished and he was attracted to tight corners, the Englishman looked for solutions to help our aging dachshund. He discovered a company called “Muffin’s Halo” and promptly ordered one. A fitted jacket with a loop for the leash had Velcro on the back to attach the wings. These wings also held a halo, which had different loop sizes for variety.
When Charlie seemed to need a bit of extra help, we attached his wings to the jacket and he no longer bumped into walls or furniture as the
flexible halo stopped him. It wasn't the
perfect solution as this determined dog could still push himself into the most
interesting places but it has helped a lot.
This is the one instance when I was grateful that one of our dogs “got his wings”.
