Being blind and deaf has to be difficult for any living creature. We feel sorry enough for the humans that have to experience it but our heart also goes out to the blind and deaf animals of the world. It must be difficult to rely on the kindness of strangers on an everyday basis. Just imagine all of the animals who are only able to make their way around because they have already memorized the layout of their home.

The average person simply does not want the hassle. They would rather take home a new puppy that is not experiencing any sort of issue. Luckily for Opal, Christina and her husband are not like all of the others.
