Tyson deserves a warm and loving home. (Whomever cast him off should be flogged.) He is smartest critter I have ever met. He is compellingly adorable. He is delightfully friendly. He is honest and sincere. I told myself I would be part of his life until he found someone to be part of his and I never thought it would take so long for someone to find him. I am not complaining, I am just curious why others don't see in him what I do.
Are they afraid of his blindness? He really is so well adapted that most people wouldn't know he's blind. He just needs help with the layout of a house and he's perfect.
Do they fear his muscle and size? He's really a lapdog. Tyson doesn't know he is as big as he is, and as long as you are smart about your situations, he's fine. Don't put him in a place that would be harmful to him, and difficult for you to get out of. For instance, if you want to walk him down steep stairs, walk one human in front, and have one hold his leash. Make noises for stairs and obstacles. His blindness just means you half to talk about all the things you would normally just recognize. For me, I am already chatty, and this just adds to my day of talking;)
Is it training? He is practically there. Just, with so many things to distract him, he is pretty poor at listening when he is in his house at Pasado's. We get him to our back yard and the pooch is a peach to manage. He's polite. He's a good listener. He's well-behaved. Tyson is sweet and attentive, doesn't wander and likes to sit by your feet (or in your lap). If he could crawl in your skin to be closer to you, he would.
Ugh. I haven't seen him in a week and a half and I miss him so much. Give him a chance. He'll give you his heart.
Update. Tyson is less and less afraid of other dogs in his face. His is gaining self-confidence being around people who love him. It's only a matter of time before he kicks that bad habit altogether!
