Dogs are often the most reliable companion a blind or visually impaired person can have in their lifetime, but it takes a very special kind of person to take in a dog who struggles from blindness.
In a post on photo-sharing site Imgur, user stanykins wrote, “I adopted a blind senior black lab last year. I always catch him doing what I call ‘being blind.'”
Since Stanykins has a few other pets roaming around in the photos below, it’s clearly he’s not just a hero to the blind dog no one else would take a chance on, but a true animal lover.
Luckily for us, he’s also got a pretty great sense of humor, too! He captioned the following photo of the dog he named Uncle Ebenezer “Just watching tv with me.”

Here, he jokes the dog hears “A knock on the door?”. You have to feel bad for the poor pooch, but you also have to admit that these photos are pretty funny!

And here’s the sweet black lab “taking in the living room scenery”.

This lucky dog definitely made his way into the right home. Just look at how Uncle Ebenezer’s new owner lets him snuggle up to aid in his recovery.

Five weeks after the blind dog’s eye removal surgery, he is nothing but smiles while taking in the fresh air on a joy ride.

People have flooded Stanykins’ photos with comments like “Thank you for adopting not only a senior dog, but a special needs dog as well” encouraging the adoptive dog parent.
Above, we see Uncle Ebenezer “Hanging out with the rest of my crew of adopted pups – girl on the right I was fostering (shes with a happy forever home now!)” and it makes us so happy to know this brave dog will never be alone or in pain again.
