"Snoop showed us that behind that disability is a champ dog" Let's learn from the story of Betty Iraboh's dog


The Genevieve Magazine publisher shared the beautiful story of her dog whom despite  its disability went ahead to break barriers.


This is Snoop..he is blind but..
He is 70 dog years old but 10 human years old. He went blind in one eye early last year and lost the other eye in December. We noticed he was bumping into things and then it dawned on us that Snoop had lost both sight. He was traumatized and so were we . My natural instinct was to have him put down so he didn't have to suffer. But to our surprise Snoop began to navigate his way around effortlessly as if he was always blind. He was blind but didn't lose his vision. We were amazed at this come back dog.
Only less than 6 weeks Snoop is back to being the the old rascal and the very territorial dog he always was... That's life for us! It isn't what happens to us in life that is the tragedy, it is how we react and the choices we make thereafter.. Snoop wasn't about to let us put him to sleep.., he showed us that behind that disability is a champ dog. This is me and Snoop at his den on my way to work.
