"All of Cappy's post surgery checkups went GREAT!" Vet Ranch Rescue explained in a video. "He has restored vision in BOTH eyes!! He will continue to improve as the swelling from the surgery subsides."

As the video shows, the surgery was such a success that Clappy clasped his eyes on a cat for the first time - although she wasn't quite so excited to see him.

Cappy stayed at the rescue center for seven weeks as he underwent other procedures to fix his rotten teeth and a bad limp. He was later adopted by a family with other elderly terriers.
