Whitey was rescued earlier this year after a kind lady saw him drifting aimlessly on a busy road; his eyes had popped out and he was visibly suffering. Whitey was promptly taken to a hospital where it was revealed that his eyes were severely damaged and would have to be removed surgically. After the eye removal operation, Whitey went completely blind; hence he couldn’t be left back on the streets.
VOSD admits blind stray dogs without a surrender fee, so it transpired that Whitey came to live at our sanctuary. We all respond to adversity in different ways – some of us rise above what happened to us quickly while others take time to adjust to new realities. Whitey falls under the latter category; he is still coming to terms with the catastrophe of losing his vision. He has had to learn to rely on his other senses to manoeuvre without eyes; the journey was full of stumbles and falls. This lack of control frustrates him sometimes and he lashes out at other dogs in an act of self-protection.
However, Whitey is very fond of humans. Most days he stays busy sniffing new corners and nuzzling people to pet him. We also enjoy taking him for walks and talking to him and hope that he will come to appreciate a life surrounded by the company of other canines – many of whom are blind too.
Life without light is difficult anywhere but it is much more dangerous on roads. Hundreds of such blind stray dogs come to live at VOSD where they get safety, nutritious meals, and lifelong medical care.
