It’s hard to deny that one dog can have a very important impact on many people’s lives, but Noah is one dog who no one would have ever expected to make such a difference in the world.

Noah was born without eyes, completely blind to the world, via an illegal backyard breeder in California, according to This Dog’s Life. The 5-month-old Bichon Poodle mix would drag himself around in the dirt and was found terrified and in terrible condition at only 2 pounds by the heroes of Saving K9 Lives.

The rescuers shared a photo of the dog on the Everything Rosy Facebook page, where Lisa Marie, a Kindergarten teacher and nurse who already owns one blind dog, was taken aback by the emaciated puppy.

“It was a visceral response of ‘I need that dog.’ It didn’t take but five minutes before I started an application,” she told PEOPLE. A few days later the formerly hopeless dog was on his way to Wisconsin to live with his new family, who quickly discovered he was more than just a special dog with a handicap.

“I found out that Noah has a really unique personality,” she told PEOPLE. “He only wants to sit on your lap with his head in your neck, so heart-to-heart, neck-to-neck. He does not want to be held any other way.”

Lisa Marie then began bringing her new dog to nursing homes to comfort the elderly, who loved the dog’s gentle nature. Then a unique opportunity came to Lisa Marie and Noah when a nearby school called upon them to help with a bullying problem.

Since then, Noah has been teaching children to accept each other’s differences as beautiful and look past physical appearance.

“By the time we leave they don’t see Noah as a disabled dog. That’s how I want humans to see each other.” Noah’s heart-to-heart hugs have made a huge difference in the eyes of these young people, who now get to spread his sweet message even further.

“If we can stop one kid from being bullied to the point of suicide, Noah has done his job,” Lisa Marie told PEOPLE of her once broken pup who now has a loving forever home and family near and far.
