re: May you never experience life with an old, blind dog

I have a dog with one eye myself my question is why would you not put a "old" dog down if he is blind? What kind of quality of life do you think he/she is having?

Dogs generally adapt to blindness much better than humans do. I had a dog that was blind for 5 years, never bumped into walls or doors or anything, got around the house on her own, great appetite.

I would never put a dog down just because they lose some vision. Give them a couple weeks or months to adapt and then make a decision.
