Blind Stoney is not the only adopted resident of ours who has a thing for water. Our fabulous volunteer Laura W. from Helena, who adopted blind Levi a few months ago, yesterday emailed me photos and some video of Levi enjoying his walks with her in the countryside outside town.
Laura wrote, "Levi is a very confident dog. He loves going for his walks. He walks off leash and runs around smelling everything. He flushes out the birds and loves to run after the antelope if they have been in the area recently. I can't imagine him not in my life."
And like Stoney, Levi has a favorite stream he likes to wade into. If you just watched this video and didn't know anything about Levi, you'd have no idea the dog you're seeing in it is totally blind:
What a good news story!!! Thanks for the update re: Levi....he has certainly adjusted well to his new home!!

That's so awesome! I'm glad he has such a good time & can run & play in such a fun place. They love the water & yes, it's hard to believe he is totally blind. Thank you for sharing this video it does the heart good to see Levi enjoying his life. He's beautiful!
