If you are reading this, chances are good that you can see. Can you imagine a world where you know nothing but blinds from the time you were born?
This is reality for darling dog Rowan, who was born without eyes and shocked everyone in his life by overcoming his blindness and discovering his own way of getting around. Rowan's owner and his veterinarian could not believe this dog discovered a way of getting around using only his mouth.
Despite being unable to see, Rowan amazingly taught himself to use echolocation to get around. Echolocation or bio sonar is the same technique used by dolphins and other animals, where they emit animal calls out into the environment and listen to the echoes to identify their location.
Rowan the German spitz is only 1.5 years 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.
Rowan is living proof that animals are a product of their environment and can overcome SO much! Please SHARE if you think this dog is amazing!
