Miyoshi, a two-year-old Akita is an extremely sweet dog, but unfortunately she has to live the rest of her life without both of her eyes.
Miyoshi was diagnosed with glaucoma, as well as an autoimmune disease that caused her body to attack her eyes, so she was forced to have surgery to have them removed. After the surgery, she was finally free of pain, but was left blind.
Sadly, her owners were unable to afford her treatments, so they surrendered her to the Michigan Humane Society, where Miyoshi was now not only blind, but scared and confused.

That’s when Tyler Keith and Abby Richardson, from Allen Park, Michigan, saw her and knew right away that she’d be the perfect fit for their family.

The couple explained that many people who first see Miyoshi express pity for her, while others find it weird that she doesn’t have eyes. But Miyoshi doesn’t know she is any different from other dogs and has adjusted to life without vision very well.

Abby and Tyler have a lot of patience with her and have helped her learn how to get around the house, walk up and down the stairs, and get around outside on their walks.
