(512 posts)1. My family had a miniature Merle Aussie
They rescued her from a shelter. She was blind and deaf. She was also one of the smartest and courageous dogs I have ever known. She learned the layout of the house in 2 days and never bumped into furniture. Little Sally was a wonderful girl.
Special needs dogs are a true joy. They have an amazing spirit and lift everyone else's too.

(25,930 posts)3. I can sort of imagine being deaf. Or being blind.
I cannot begin to imagine how limiting being both deaf and blind would be.
I am completely in awe of any living creature who lives with and overcomes that situation.

He can't hear but he can see tho his vision leaves something to be desired and yes he is brilliant!
Completely hand signal and touch trained, as well mannered as any Aussie, truly amazing!
