Rowan the German spitz was born without eyes, but shocked his owner and his veterinarian by discovering a way to find his way around the woods using only his mouth.
Rowan is an amazing dog who taught himself how to use echolocation to get around, despite being unable to see. Echolocation or bio sonar is used by several animals, such as dolphins, where they emit animal calls out into the environment and listen to the echoes to identify their location. Rowan is 18 months old in this video and is almost indistinguishable from any other dog with sight. Isn't Rowan incredible? He's definitely the first of his kind that I've ever heard of. This just goes to show that spirit and determination can overcome SO much! Please SHARE if you think this dog is amazing!
