The weight of the world is on her shoulders, it seems.

My Boston Terrier Bee, who weighed 23 pounds, went completely blind after a failed attempt at cataract surgery about 8 months ago (the other eye she had was surgically removed by the Humane Society before we found her rescued - she was about to be euthanized as she was in very poor condition when we took her in after her 2nd stay at the shelter). So I try to do everything to make her comfortable. After reading many good reviews I finally bit the bullet and got her this. I was fed up with her hitting herself in the face and even making her face bleed (I live in Arizona where mold is common on everything ) and blindly injured her eye again after hitting the wall. She has never lost faith in herself and keeps moving forward. However, when I put it on her, she doesn't want to walk. She finds it difficult (and she's bigger than a Boston!) as she tends to walk crookedly and in circles when it's on, or she just doesn't want to walk at all. I don't know if the wings are causing the sounds coming off her differently, but it seems like she was completely "turned off" when I put this on her. She usually wears a harness, so she has no problem with that. Really not sure why wings have to be so bulky. I'll keep trying to work with her to get used to it - but for now it seems like I'm tormenting her by putting this on her (but I know it's in her best interests). She looks like a sad angel. Also, I'm not sure what I was thinking when I bought white, it would get dirty so quickly (that is, if she actually wears it and is comfortable in it) - the material is such that hair gets stuck to it. like a magnet! Also, with this device, which is a dispenser and has a jug that sits on top of the bowl to keep it full, she cannot drink from her water bowl and her food bowl cannot be next to a wall. Great invention for dogs. it will take over but my stubborn girlfriend doesn't have it right now. We need more resources for blind dogs like this! I will update my review if anything changes.
