Charlie’s Story

Age at diagnosis: 6 years

Breed: Mini Dachshund

Charlie is my little sidekick — he follows me EVERYWHERE. I would always say he's like a little toddler: loves to play, run and catch the ball, cuddle — he also loves to play hockey with his bell. He loves his car rides as well.

Charlie's personality is so funny — he thinks he is a large breed dog, but if anybody came around the house he runs and hides and barks. He lets his sister Maya, a mini dachshund, do all the barking by the door.

Praying for all families going through this, and hoping we get more answers.

Charlie is part of The Theo Project's canine meningitis registry - a growing global collection of MUE, MUO and SRMA stories shared to help families facing this diagnosis.
