THESE DOG DAYS
A resource for disabled dogs and their owners
Today we talk to Paige from Santa Cruz, CA about life with her pit bull cross, Steve. Steve was born both blind and deaf. His life could have taken two routes - he could have been aggressive, scared, and unpredictable (I would be terrified of everything if I couldn't see or hear it approaching!) or he could have been a confident, happy dog who didn't let his disabilities get in the way of enjoying life. He chose the latter. As far as I'm concerned, Steve doesn't have any disabilities - he is a normal dog that likes to eat, sleep, play, go on walks, and snuggle (ALL the snuggles). What does a regular day with blind and deaf dog look like?
