    I remember long ago, watching a show where a blind teenage boy used echolocation to skateboard around. I thought it was the coolest thing.

      I had a cocker spaniel that went blind from glaucoma, and he got around much better than you would expect. I guess dog hearing is probably pretty good for that

        dogs also have pretty… dogwater… vision, to start with they can’t see read and then on top of that it’s just generally low quality.
        AFAIK we humans actually pretty amazing vision by general animal standards
