The adopted blind dog is a good story. We adopted a senior dog this year that is blind from cataracts. She too bumps into things every now and then but gets around fairly easily.

I've certainly been guilty of that in the past.

It is unfortunate that the news media does not recognize the value of reporting the good along with the bad.
