Protection For Our Blind Pups

 Occasionally, something really useful comes along and I think to myself, why hasn't this been invented already?  I haven't actually held one of these Halos so I don't know exactly how well they are made.  However, from the few photos I have checked out, they seem like a well thought out invention.

     Here is Panda Paw's Rescue "Fruit Bat" strutting her stuff modeling her new Halo.  I love the vest design and the padding behind the head.  The sensor like bumper seems like a great way for a pup to know they're getting close to something, like a wall. 

See Spot Sit has provided pet sitting and dog walking for quite a few active blind dogs over the years. Tama, a Pug who needed her eyes removed due to medical necessity and Molly, a Springer Spaniel who went blind very young from a degenerative disease are just a couple pups who could have used something like the Muffin's Halo.  Molly adapted so well that most of the time I would forget she was blind but would hit the occasional stop sign pole or tree while out walking or sometimes a chair or wall in her home.  One of the best stories I have about Molly was one morning we were on a walk and crossed a wider than normal street, about 3/4 of the way across the street she started picking up her feet, anticipating the curb!  She knew it was coming and that she had been walking longer than usual, it was an eye opener to how well these pups (and humans) can adapt without one of the senses.
