Not our dog, but definitely a member of the family:

One of my wife's cousins found him at a shelter several years ago, fell in love with him almost immediately, and gave him a good home. She named him Jack because, as you may have noticed, his left eye is missing ("One-eyed Jack"). She was told by someone at the shelter that his eye had somehow been badly damaged before he'd been brought in, and the vet ultimately decided to remove it and permanently close his eyelids on that side. He doesn't seem to notice, and he's very friendly, affectionate, and playful.

I've always wished that we could be more like dogs in accepting handicaps and infirmities. Since they don't know any different they don't mourn over them or allow them to define their existence like we tend to do. They accept and get on with their lives.

I used to love these dogs and wanted one so bad. UNTIL, i met some. A buddy had one that cost a bundle, ran the house. Pedigree, world class champion show dog. Dumbest idiot dog anybody ever met. Louie the idiot we called him, but stunningly beautiful.
Ice cubes and lemon wedges, yup!

With humans most of the "problems" arise because of the way other humans react to their handicaps/infirmities/whatever. And this sometimes happens with pets. Poor little Jack had been at that shelter for a while because a lot of people who went there looking for a dog were put off by his missing eye. That didn't matter to my wife's cousin; all she saw was a cute and sweet little dog that responded to her in a positive manner. Good for her, and good for him.

I read online that Afghans are considered "the least intelligent" dogs.
