Manley, who has found his forever home with Jane Tirc, is being featured tomorrow at 7:30 pm on a radio show in Boston. Jane will be calling in and talking to him about Manley and the NEBTR. People who are listening might want to see pictures of Manley since they will be hearing his story.
And here is a link to a newspaper story about Manley. As the Amityville paper wrote, "Manley, a little blind Boston Terrier, was alone, wandering the streets on a rainy night. Imagine being scooped up by caring youths. Imagine then being delivered to the best of hands because of various breed rescues working together.

"Manley couldn’t see but luckily a series of strangers saw him. Jane in Kingston, a nurse and volunteer for the North East Boston Terrier Rescue (NEBTR), called to say that he looked like a Boston but it didn’t matter. She rarely fostered because her home is a one way door; yet his photos were so touching; she’d gladly take this guy."

Manley had advanced glaucoma, which was causing painful pressure in his eye. He was determined to be between 6 and 10 years old. The eye was removed and sutured shut.

Despite his lack of sight, Manley fit right in at Jane’s house, settling as soon as he realized his bed was next to hers. He blends with her Bostons- Buster and Marilyn, and already knew to spin around and sit for a treat when he comes in. He’s comfy and on some level senses he will never be put in harm’s way again.

He is now loved and safe in Jane's home. What a wonderful ending to the story!
