This is so amazing!

This pit bull was born completely blind.

But she's still able to play fetch with her owner just like a normal doggy.

So sweet.

That is so amazing.

We have no idea how they hauled an upright piano all the way out there.

The man is playing at a reserve for handicapped elephants, and the one standing right behind the piano is blind.

Whoever thought to do this for these elephants should be given a medal.

A couple adopted a blind kitten.

He was born without formed eyes so they gave him a ball with bells in it.

He can "see" with his powerful sense of hearing.

So cute and inspirational.

Check out the above video for a blind kitty still having a good time.

Lily is a Great Dane who lost both of her eyes due to an incurable condition when she was 18 months old.

She originally lived with her sister dog, Maddison, and the two of them have been at a shelter for the past 5 years.

Maddison and Lily are inseparable, with Maddison acting as Lily's seeing eye dog.

She always walks close to her and touches her to lead her around.

They sleep together and play and bark just like normal dogs.

But every time someone visited the shelter, they were overlooked because they're big dogs, come as a pair and one was blind.

Until recently!!

After the story of Lily and Maddison went global, hundreds of people suddenly offered to open their homes to the big doggies.

A spokesperson for the shelter said:

What. A. Dumbass.

A Colorado cab driver has been suspended from his job after forcing a blind woman to stow her seeing-eye dog in the trunk because of his pet allergies.

Denver resident Judie Brown was confused when the cabbie told her that the dog had to ride "in the back" of the cab because of he was allergic. When she asked, "Where in the back?" the driver responded "In the trunk."

Late for an appointment, Brown reluctantly agreed.

The black lab, Alberto, who has been Brown's service dog for four years, whined during the entire ride in the trunk.

"It was terribly wrong," Brown said of the situation, and the law is on her side: Colorado state law protects service dogs and their owners, allowing them to ride together in taxis and public transport.

That cabby deserves to ride around in a trunk for a while. Maybe even for a long while.
