These dogs are inseparable since Maidison had an operation to remove her eyes.

The last picture says it all.

OMG: how sweet it is. They really do know what each other need. I had a bitch with juv. cataracts; her dog friend Gladys used to knudge her to follow her with her nose, especially at night; it was adorable. They were separated later but while they were at my kennel they were great buds. Great days, Nan Don't you love dogdum.

Why were the dog's eyes removed? 
I know they have to do this to humans that develop retinal blastoma, a cancer that can quickly spread to the brain, but why do it with a dog?

I googled it, and it was entropion of the eyelid that wasn't treated in time. 
I wonder if the original owners were responsible? They admitted the dogs were too much to care for, and surrendered them to a no-kill rescue. Thank goodness, it seems they have now found a very good home with a large garden, and a husband and wife who will give them lots of walks and attention!
Being Great Danes, they probably only have a year or two more to live, so I'm glad they've found a nice spot to spend the rest of their days.

These dogs were at my local Dogs Trust centre and I was honoured to see both these beautiful dogs.
Sadly after being rehomed together they had to be separated when Lily attacked Maddison, so they are now being rehomed separately... http://www.shropshirestar.com/news/2011/11/25/blind-great-danes-separated-after-attack/
Such a shame...

This is so touching!! My Mom always talks about her St. Bernard and her GSD. They were best of friend and when the St. Bernard (Bessie) got old and blind the GSD (Baron) would lead her around and take her out to the "woods" to play (no leash laws in those days). This story among many others are the reason why I had to have a GSD when I got old enough to finally own one.
It is so amazing how dogs can be so loyal and compassionate and as humans we have a lot to learn from them.
