I thought I was seeing a ghost! We had one of these who lost her left eye (playing with the cat who didn’t want to play) and got cataracts in the right. Her name was Dollie.

I remember this guy. That was a great walk. Fantastic shot Walter. I need to look at my card to see what I captured.

Terrific portrait of this special boy.

Julie Oldfield		18-Apr-2013 23:25
I am glad he is happy and has a good human to care for him.

He looks very happy on his long walky. V

Looks like my Mom's dog and he's near blind too. A sweet capture of this loyal friend. V

Great little dogs! Terrific photo. I'll bet he is in good shape because his master keeps him active. V

keep up the good work Sam...!!

Mike H.		18-Apr-2013 00:23
Glad he's staying active and didn't give up. Thanks goes to his human "seeing eye". Fine shot of him and story snippet!

Frank Brault		18-Apr-2013 00:05
He looks in great shape. Sam can be a lesson for us all. V

Mairéad		17-Apr-2013 22:52
He looks alert and perky. Way to go Sam.

Don Mottershead		17-Apr-2013 22:32
Go Sam!

Helen Betts		17-Apr-2013 22:09
A sad story and a very moving image. Sam still looks to have a determination to enjoy life, though. Beautiful portrait. V.

What a sweetie, lovely to know he is still able to enjoy himself.

Guest		17-Apr-2013 21:49
Ah, poor baby! He does look so happy though. Great shot.

danad		17-Apr-2013 21:45
A very moving image. V.

John Lamb		17-Apr-2013 21:28
I wonder if his sense of smell is enhanced with the loss of sight?

Karen Stuebing		17-Apr-2013 21:15
He's a pretty little dog and he looks content here. Great light and detail. V.
