After Tao had his eyes surgically removed due to glaucoma, his family decided to get another golden for Tao to play with.

Oko has inadvertently become Tao's guide dog.

Having a puppy as a best friend and guide has given Tao a whole new lease on life.

"Oko is amazing for such a young pup," the owner told My Modern Met. "He leads Tao in the fields and this has given Tao the confidence to play and run around."
