Of course I don't Liebling and you know it. But I am afraid you don't understand what I am saying. I am saying that you should not put to sleep a dog who's just blind but otherwise can manage.

Yes, I understand your post but we are talking about Sam, it's him who have poor healthy and blind.

Your friend's dog seem to be blind and very old, I meant mostly HEALTHY dogs and even young.
I asked:
By this way of thinking ALL the blind dogs, young or old should be put to sleep.
Please read carefully.

Okay, I understand that you are talking about young dogs but I never see any young dogs who have blind in my life but all what I know is the pets grow old and become blind later.

I can't say anything because I never experienced with young and blind dog or withness anyone but become old and blind. Yes, I said in my previous post that it's better for blind dogs go to save their suffering. It's hard to beleive that young and blind dogs can live happily. I only know that blind human and pet are different.
I would say something when I KNOW any young and blind pets but I can't because I don't have experience or withness. I tried to picture myself what if I have young healthy and blind dog while I have a family. I would of have the Vet's opinion because I can't take care of blind dog for 24 hours whom I have a family, I take care of.

And no, I don't have a blind dog but I have a dog whos' blind in one eye and hardly sees in the other.She's only 4 or 5 years old, and already this blind eye got slight cataract, which is something what Sam has except it's in very early stage.
The vet said it's possible it will happen to the other eye. We hope it won't.
I can't imagine putting her to sleep just because she's got blind.
And there is plenty of stories around about blind dogs living happy life..

Oh dear, 4 or 5 years is too young to be blind is not normal.

. Where it comes from? I know alot of pets become blind when they are old and have poor healthy like Sam.
Okay, you will see yourself when your dog will become blind soon.
