Pictures of Francis at the Park

This is all pretty new to me so I'm trying to send a couple of pictures of Francis at the Park

I'm trying to show everyone just how independent a totally blind dog can be. I very rarely leash Francis so he can proceed at his own pace and sniff everything to his heart's content! When Franny first went blind three years ago I thought that was the end of all our adventures but BOY!!! did he ever prove me wrong. We go everywhere together and he's game for anything.

Francis is an amazing hound. That is so wonderful that his blindness hasn't held him back. He is really blessed to have you for his Mom!

It is really good to hear that blind dogs can get around really well! Francis is such a handsome boy!

After all these years I get to see Francis!!

!!!

I've always wondered what he looks like- what a handsome guy! And you'r right, there's no indication in those photos that he's blind- he looks so confident and just like any other hound walking along the trail-

What a treat to finally "meet" Francis! He looks like he does very well for himself.

wow, he walks better off the leash than Louie...he'd be all over the place...
what a good boy!
