Dog with no eyes learns echolocation

[johnnybluballs]

we have a puppy born without eyes here in minnesota who is very much like this lil champion.....our lil miracle

[kasteman1]

Like she says, he's never known eyesight. It's still sad, but at least it's not tragic. Another way to pull a positive out of this, is to think of how many ways he's adapting and gaining abilities that most dogs will never know.

close caption messes up that story SO much

[talitakoomi]

This is encouraging. My beloved pug is ten and going blind and I've been just heartbroken wondering it I will have to put her down-which would just destroy me, as she's been my 24/7 companion since 6 weeks old. Her health is otherwise good, but catatacts and pigmentary keratitis are slowly stealing her light. Any advice out there? :(

[glassoforangejuice]

@talitakoomi just enjoy your time with your dog now. Don't get her put down now, be prepared because your dogs behavior can change very fast if shes getting older and losing sight smell and hearing. with my dog, as he got on, he lost his "pep" very fast, as if he was fine one day and 2 weeks later he was relying on being carried around to places. you know your dog best so only you can tell when its time to say goodbye

[Asdayasman]

@talitakoomi Your dog is old, and used to being dependant on sight, thus, will likely not learn echolocation.

Do NOT put it down. Just as blind people can have guide dogs, blind dogs can have guide humans. Make her golden years happy.

He's lucky to have you and you are lucky to have him.

[jenbuku]

@tf2whackyengineer he uses echolocation to "see"

[cirkic]

i would hug this dog all day :D such a cute dog my god!

[123serg123]

he has eyes...he is alil bit stoned i guess

[Kommommer]

"Heeeey! Playtime"!!! Poor fellow, he looks so sweet :-). Great job indeed, I think a doctor would have said he got no chance on having a good life. Glad there are people like this lady who give the dog a chance. Soo sweet!

[kinsalelou]

Awww how amazing! What a lovely dog! X

[Kayy2xo]

I have a Keeshond, and he looks exactly like that... but with eyes of course.

[Kayy2xo]

[CLAV777]

@BillyCorgan777 lol true

[3piper]

@BillyCorgan777 No,dogs adjust,they dont miss it like a human would.We had to get one of our dogs surgically blinded and he lived for several years.He was happy and played with our other dog and would go exploring at the park.We had to be careful not to move things at our home and we always watched him when he was outside
