It was obvious that Stevie had a lot going on when he first came into the care of Diamonds in the Ruff. Stevie had been through a lot. Stevie was not only blind, but she also had to deal with fleas, and worms, and her fur was falling off. In the end, they both determined that he had an old corn cob lodged in his intestines and that he needed to have surgery in order to have it removed. In addition to all of his health problems, his foster home had to be patient with him as he acclimated to living inside with a loving family despite the fact that he had a history of behavioral problems.

“He slept the majority of the way home but would begin growling and barking every so often in his cage,” Stevie’s foster mom Erin Boyd told The Dodo. “He was a very good boy.” “We were aware that he was only trying to defend himself. When we arrived back at the house, we carried the crate inside, but he remained within it the whole time. We took additional precautions since we were aware that he may not see and that we had not yet recognized him.

It did not take long for Stevie to transform into the biggest mush of a dog once he started to recuperate from his injuries, both physically and mentally, and he began to emerge from his hiding place as his health began to improve. His foster family enjoyed seeing him go through so many new experiences for the first time, one of which was obtaining his very own bed for the very first time.

The foster family who took care of Stevie was aware that it was very probable that he had never before slept on a comfortable bed designed for dogs, so they made sure to provide him with one. As soon as he actually felt how soft it was with his paws, he was so pleased that he immediately started leaping for excitement. He couldn’t contain his enthusiasm.
