Let me introduce you to Seeker. A friend of mine raises leader dog puppies and Seeker was her pup several years ago. She was to have him for a year prior to his going to Rochester, MI for Leader Dog training. Unfortunately, Seeker and the rest of his litter developed cataracts and glaucoma and were all blind before they were a year old. My friend kept Seeker as a pet and he now has prosthetic eyes (no vision).
Several weeks ago we took my friends dogs out to a pond so I could take shots from my float in the water. While I enjoyed photographing the other dogs getting 'air', I really liked watching Seeker. My friend had a Kong (water toy the dogs retrieve) and she would say to Seeker "listen". this picture is what he would do when she said that. The she would throw the toy out quite far in the water and after he heard it splash he was headed right to it. He was very consistent in swimming right to it and bringing it back to her. Canon EOS3 with 70-200IS, Sensia 100 pushed to 200 (not enough light for jumping dogs), handheld from float in pond. Cheryl Ertelt
