Hoshi, an American Eskimo dog, was scheduled for an eye operation just six months after the family adopted Zen, a tiny Pomeranian.

After it was found that Hoshi was suffering from a painful eye infection, veterinarians made the decision to remove the canine's eyes.

And with Hoshi unable to see, his new companion naturally assumed the role as his guide dog.
