A blind dog proved that true love does not need eyes when a deployed soldier finally returned home. This emotional military dog reunion shows the powerful bond between pets and their owners after months of separation.
The sweet pet dog lost her sight completely while her owner was away serving his country. When he walked back into the living room nobody knew if the poor animal would even realize that her best friend was standing right there in front of her.
The video starts with this precious little pup Tickies standing completely still because she cannot see a single thing anymore. You can see her little nose sniffing the air and turning her head around trying to figure out who is there.
Then her daddy Blake leans down real close and speaks to her. The very second she hears his familiar voice and catches his scent her whole body just starts shaking with pure excitement. She did not just wag her tail she launched herself straight up into his arms.
I honestly had to get a tissue because it was so moving to see how this blind dog responded realized the visitor was actually her dad.
Now you might wonder how a dog even navigates a huge moment like this when they can’t see a single thing. We have to remember that a dog’s world is built so much on what they smell and what they hear rather than just what they look at.
Their noses have millions of tiny scent receptors that a human cannot even imagine. They can pick up a familiar voice from a mile away. So even though Tickies lived in total darkness her heart and her nose remembered her favorite person perfectly.
