How Can I Help My Blind Dog?

Regardless if you're an owner of a newly blinded dog, have adopted a blind/visually impaired dog (or puppy) or have been at this for awhile-the purpose we strive for on this web site, also on the Blind dog list and message board, is to provide you the support and information you need to help both you and your beloved dog. If you're new to this situation-rest assured it does get much better. Most dogs adjust well and lead happy near-normal lives. Before long you will be amazed at what a blind dog can do!!!!

Your not alone in your situation, although it may feel like you are right now.  Finding this web site is the first step to helping both you and your beloved dog. If you are considering adopting a blind/visually impaired dog and not sure what to expect?  Well for the most part a visually impaired dog is not that much different than a sighted one as you will see from the stories on our site. When a dog looses their sight (or was not born with sight) they come to rely on their other senses and often times these senses become even keener over time.

I cannot see you Mommy, when you cuddle me so near.
And yet I know you love me, it's in the words I hear.
I cannot see you Daddy, when you hold me by your side
But,still I know you love me when you tell me so with pride.
I cannot see to run and play out in the sun so bright
For, here inside my tiny head it's always dark as night.
I cannot see the treats you give when I am extra good
But, I can wag my tail in Thanks just like a good dog should.
"She cannot see. The dogs no good" is what some folks might say
"She can't be trained, she'll never learn She must be put away."
But not you, Mom and Daddy You know that it's alright
Because I love you just as much as any dog with sight.
You took me in, you gave me love and we will never part
Because I'm blind with just my eyes, I see you in my heart.
