This is truly a heart warming story with an amazing ending. Rowan, a German Spitz Dog, was born without eyeballs. The vet said he should be euthanized because his quality of life would pretty much suck. His owner would not entertain putting Rowen down. Instead, the puppy learned to bark and then listen to the echos to help him run, play and walk around the house. Rowen is now 1 1/2 years old and you would never know that he is totally blind. He can run and play with all the other dogs. Rowen uses something that bats use to get around called echolocation. I'm happy for him, but it would be pretty hard on the humans to listen to non-stop barking. If I went blind, Linda would just carry me everywhere.
