Portrait of Sam

Sam is a 14 year old Boston Terrier who is completely blind.
Every day he walks 5 miles around the lake with his master.
He is curious, active and seems quite happy.

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.

I am glad he is happy and has a good human to care for him.

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

Glad he's staying active and didn't give up. Thanks goes to his human "seeing eye".
Fine shot of him and story snippet!

He looks in great shape. Sam can be a lesson for us all. V

He looks alert and perky. Way to go Sam.

Go Sam!

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.

Ah, poor baby! He does look so happy though. Great shot.

A very moving image. V.

I wonder if his sense of smell is enhanced with the loss of sight?

He's a pretty little dog and he looks content here. Great light and detail. V.
