Blind, lost dog, reunited with family

SAN ANTONIO -- A blind dog that was lost and believed to be dead is reunited with his San Antonio family for Christmas, thanks to Craigslist, a teacher and an animal care agency.


The San Antonio Express-News reports Saturday that nearly a month after Stevie Oedipus Wonder disappeared, the cairn terrier mix puppy that was born without eyes is home.

Stevie's owner Belinda Gutierrez says she thought she was going to end the year on a sad note.

The dog showed up at the Animal Care Services on Dec. 11. He would have been euthanized, but a high school teacher agreed to care for him over the holiday. Then she found the lost dog notice on Craigslist, and Stevie went home Thursday. He's getting doggy treats, carrots and toys for Christmas.

Merry Christmas

I want to take this opportunity to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

This is a joyous time of the year, as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

During this blessed season, we hope you will have the opportunity to spend time with family and friends.

I also hope you will join me in saying a prayer for those men and women around the world who will spend     this Christmas away from loved ones, as they continue to protect our country and our freedoms.

Christmas is a season of generosity and giving. In this spirit, I hope you will share with those who through illness, poverty, or other challenges, are in need.

I wish you a joyous Christmas and blessed New Year!
