We all know dogs are considered man’s closest and best companions through centuries. The fact that there are many incredible stories of dogs saving the lives of humans, so it’s easy to get a few stories that demonstrate their courage and loyalty.
This story is an amazing example of the difference a rescue dog can make in saving a life. And what makes this story even more incredible is that this dog is blind! Meet Norman, a courageous yellow Labrador Retriever who saved the life of a girl named Lisa Nibbley from drowning in the deep ocean.
Norman was abandoned by his previous owners and then taken to an animal shelter. Thankfully, a couple named Annette and Steve McDonalds rescued him from the shelter the day before he was scheduled to be euthanized.
Shortly after bringing home Norman, the couple noticed there was something wrong with his eyesight. They took him to the vet and found out that he had Retinal Atrophe, a genetic disease with no cure, which would then cause blindness.
After a few years, Norman went permanently blind, but his blindness didn’t hold him back. He was adapting fine to his condition and was still able to run and play just like any other dog his age.
Then one day, as Norman was walking with his owner Annette on the beach, they saw the little girl Lisa Nibbley in the water crying for help. At that moment, this hero dog knew exactly what he had to do.
