The dog that wears sunglasses to stop her going blind

A dog with a rare medical condition has to wear sunglasses to stop her going blind.

Two-year-old Flossie, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel cannot produce tears and her delicate eyes need protection from sunlight.



The illness - keratoconjunctivitis sicca and ichthyosiform - also means she suffers from itchy skin and has to wear pink pyjamas to stop her scratching.

Owner Diana Stevens said: "She's quite happy with the doggles and her pyjamas help protect her delicate skin. Everyone stops and looks at her, they think she's so cool."
