I would suspect that this dog spends much of the day barking or yipping out sounds so as to navigate. Noisy, but impressive. It’s remarkable that he can use that to make his way around, preserving much of his independence.

Perhaps, but the blind pekingese I grew up with would only growl and huff. She worked mostly from memory around the house; she'd huff her way around until she was sure where everything was and, unless someone moved something, she did an incredible job of getting around.

Favorite memory is of playing fetch with her. We had a ball with a bell in it and she'd find it way more often than not. I remember it rolling under a table and she *knew* the table was there, but didn't know how to get under it. About that time, she sneezed and you could see the lightbulb coming on. So here was a pekingese, blind as a bat, sneezing her head off, until she found that damn ball! More determination in man or beast I've never seen. lol

Guess that's why I have a soft spot for rescues and special needs dogs.
