Thrilled in his new home, Shiner Solo (his new name), is loving life with his family!
Jordan has a very good sense of humour about the situation:
Sometimes he’ll run into things and you can tell he has some problem with his depth persecution, as do I. He’s playful, loves to be held, has the cutest little bark and gets along great with the whole family.

Jordan concluded:
All animals need love no matter what they look like, their physical deformities, or how many eyes they have.
