Becoming blind is one of the most common fears among adults. Losing eyesight as an adult would be a terrible loss. As humans, we rely on our sight to navigate through the world, appreciate our surroundings and much, much more. Being suddenly without sight would be terrible and a challenge for you and your loved ones. Of course, this isn't the case in the real world, but you can imagine why pet owners (and especially soon-to-be dog owners) shy away from taking care of a blind animal. The potential burden and the added expenses have always forced shelters to put blind dogs down...
...Until now.
When inventor Silvie Bordeaux's 13-year-old toy poodle went blind, she wasn't willing to put her down, even though she walked into walls and fell down stairs. http://images.viralnova.com/000/091/786/desktop-1415754527.jpg
Instead, Bordeaux created a halo harness that warns dogs when they're about to bump into an obstacle. http://images.viralnova.com/000/091/785/desktop-1415754526.jpg
Since it was perfected, it spread like wildfire to dogs of all ages and sizes. http://images.viralnova.com/000/091/784/desktop-1415754526.jpg
It even uses a pair of angel wings at the base to make these darling dogs that much cuter to everyone. http://images.viralnova.com/000/091/783/desktop-1415754525.jpg
...Although other designs are available. http://images.viralnova.com/000/091/775/desktop-1415754519.jpg
Today, Bordeaux hopes to see the device in dog shelters, where it will help blind dogs get adopted. http://images.viralnova.com/000/091/782/desktop-1415754525.jpg
We hope so too! http://images.viralnova.com/000/091/781/desktop-1415754523.jpg
