Eddie was brought in by Jennifer Crist in July of 2012. He and a smaller female were hanging out at a boys orphanage in Ciudad Satellite that she is affiliated with. The dogs stayed around because there was a lot of free food available, however, they were being very badly treated by the children.

Eddie is a young golden retriever cross, perhaps a year and a half old. He has long white-blonde fur with beautiful feathering. He is an extremely sweet dog-very loving, easy going and good natured.

Eddie  developed TVT or sticker tumors (A sexually transmitted form of venereal cancer common in un-sterilized dogs in Guatemala. Luckily, the condition is curable with a series of chemotherapy treatments administered intravenously over a month or two.  Once cured and sterilized, Eddie was adopted locally by friend Stan Heller.
