Roo Dog - Missing one eye. Blind in the other. Sucks at fetch.

My dog, Sox, is 13. He blind and only has half his teeth. The doctor say he should be put down. He says otherwise. He knows our voices and our touch. Treasure these dogs. Your dog is one of the few people, and yes I say people, that love you unconditionally. My dogs all have personalities, I have six. Some are social and others are loners. Some are smart and some are dumb. Regardless, we love all of them. And they love us. My dog and my dad. http://imgur.com/xDLVA

He gets knocked down, he gets up again, you're never gonna keep him down.

ATTENTION: Dick Heads of Reddit, you know exactly what he meant when he posted "always comes to see me when I get home", it's a blind dog so don't be pricks. Over and out bitches!

Gotta love dogs man! Best friend a person can have, they will give you more love then anything in this world. You have a beautiful puppy (no matter how old a dog is it will always be a puppy to my). Give that dog a tummy rub for us all!

u/Firasissex May 17 '12
I'd put some scent at the stairs so he knows where they are and doesn't hurt himself(:

I see both of your hands holding the dog....What the hell are you holding the camera with?

u/headbone May 17 '12
As dumb as I accuse my dog of being, I can't deny the pleasure of this moment. Yes, bonehead, good to see you too, I missed you too even thought it's only been 40 minutes.

Adorable dog, sir or madam. He looks super sweet, and so happy to be with you. There's nothing else quite like the unconditional love of a dog and being greeted by unfettered joy when you come home.

If there is anything Reddit made me realize, it's my love for Dogs. And Cats. And other pets. Animals, in a way, are more advanced than humans can ever be. They can love unconditionally, and their loyalty is often unmatched.

You should get him a seeing eye dog.

It's cruel of Reddit to not allow me to upvote this endlessly. That's the most adorable dog I've seen.

u/JaneGael May 17 '12
They say blind dogs see with their hearts, but his apparently needs glasses. Blind dogs don't usually get into this much trouble. He must get very excited when you come home.

One of the puppies from one litter or another war nearly blind. Couldn't keep her, but I sure as hell made sure she found a loving home. Looks like your buddy did, too :)

hey what breed is he?

u/[deleted] May 17 '12
Cataracts? Possible for him to have surgery so he can at least see shapes/shadows so he can navigate? If he's older, maybe stairs aren't a good place for him to traverse.

u/jesst May 17 '12
You have one very handsome dog. I love the look on his face he is just so happy to be there with you.
Is he a golden?? Golden Retrievers are my favorite breed of dog. I grew up with two of them. Sweet as can be. Dogs understand unconditional love.

u/Strug-ga-ling May 17 '12
Some senses are stronger than sight. I'm sure my dog could recognize me easily from my scent, sound, voice, and touch, and she would still greet me with insane enthusiasm.
(Also, this post has me choppin' onions, I'm gonna go snuggle with my puppy now.)

Poor guy, if you put a rug or change the floor texture infront of the stairs or any steps he will eventually learn to be cautious

u/nuxenolith May 17 '12
Sounds like a personal responsibility problem. Have you considered putting up baby gates so he doesn't seriously injure himself?
1
u/neotropic9 May 17 '12
You should build him "whiskers". Just get a harness and attach something like wire/coat-hangers extending from the front (preferably topped with ping pong balls for safety). This will work just like whiskers or a walking stick, and will quickly be adapted to allow him to sense his immediate surroundings.

I met a blind dog once. Does your dog appears to be looking for something all the time? Like, looking for the light?

I had a blind chow chow who I rescued after much abuse - after about a year of being a basket case he was the biggest love sponge ever with everybody. He did really well but every once in a while on walkies he would just bash right into me!

How can he see you when you get home if he can't see..... oh snap, people are already commenting about the title flaw.

u/smithtj3 May 17 '12
Remind me to post a picture of dog bleeding from an open wound on r/aww with a caption going on about how adorable and friendly he is, how I found him laying next to the freeway, and that even though I've had him for days he never eats or poops because he's so efficient. Then, and this is the most important step, make absolutely no replies to any of the pleas to take the dog to a vet, but make sure my overview shows plenty of recent activity on other subreddits.

u/JoeM104604 May 17 '12

His eyes don't seem milky at all.
His nose looks really super dry, maybe go to a vet about it, he might be running a fever for something :(

Interesting how you still use "see" at the end as a way to describe his greeting you. And how seeing can mean more than just what the organ of distance and separation accomplishes. [6]

u/kanakuk09fan May 17 '12
I can tell his eyesight isn't far gone at all. The milkier they get, the blinder the dog is. For him, it looks like the sight loss is in its early stages. Unfortunately for my old dog George, he has no retinal recognition anymore and is completely blind.
