This Dog Was Born Blind & Deaf—All Because of Irresponsible Breeding

Since Oscar's on vacation due to me being sick, I've been going through some older pictures of him...here's one from two weeks ago. Sometimes he wants to take his treat for a walk, always carrying it this way...just needs a top hat, and Mr. O is ready to go

This is Jackie, a very decisive Jack Russell Terrier and Oscar's best friend. She always greets him standing next to him, never in front of him, because his body tenses up when he smells a dog right in front of him. They don't play because he literally doesn't see her coming. When she runs past him, she always slows down so he doesn't get spooked or swerves to the side when he's about to bump into her. In the picture, she is standing on a picnic table looking out for other dogs in case she needs to get in front of him. In short, she understands him and his special needs!

Watching him running around having a good time, without any fear, are just priceless moments #DogsOfPixelfed #DogsOfMastodon #BlindDogs

Does anyone have any advice about raising blind puppies? #Dogs #Puppies #DogsOfMastodon #BlindDogs

For anyone who has a dog going blind or worried about adopting a blind dog this is an image of my first greyhound. We found out he had gone blind rapidly at about 2.5 years of age, we had only had him 6 months. He lived a long and fully active life, he is completely blind in this photo ❤️.
Image quality is poor as it is an old print scanned onto a computer. #DogsOfMastadon #BlindDogs #Dogs #photography
