Dog with no eyes still manages to play fetch.... cool [View all]



The owner of a Border Collie that lives on a family farm in north Texas says that her canine companion seems to have a type of super power: she can see without actually having eyes.

Chica, as they call her, had her eyes surgically removed when she was just a puppy, according to CBS News affiliate KXII in Sherman, Texas. However, it turns out that she doesn’t actually need them.

“I don’t understand it at all,” Martha Knox told KXII. “She runs every place she goes. I don’t know, it’s almost like she has radar.”

This video is from KXII in Sherman, Texas, published Wednesday, November 8, 2012. (video atn link) http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/11/08/dog-with-no-eyes-still-manages-to-play-fetch/
