Look at his happy tail wagging, oh goodness. :)

I THOUGHT HE HAD A STUBBY DOCKED TAIL AT FIRST

*thud thud thud thud*
ImJacksMedullaOblongata
Its tail is wagging so fast in the first gif the camera can barely capture it. Too adorable
TheSlaugh
he's gonna fly off with that.
ThatRussian
He's smiling, too!!
CheezeMonkee
If he was blind from birth, then he has no idea what is happening. If not, then... cool.
ushigana
Why.. why was he blind... how is he not blind... I NEED TO KNOW THESE THINGS

NEVERMIND I FOUND SAUCE!
AustinSevenfold
Ok so seriously how badass is it that modern medicine can return sight to an animal.
fourteenroses
If you're curious, here's a clip of the process! http://youtu.be/nrIWac1FX2o I intern at a vet opthalmology clinic and we do this procedure!
notme222
We live in the best world that has ever been. We just need a reminder sometimes.
aninsanecouple
Yeah, like nuclear missiles and oil factories.
burgerm7
eh, gotta take the really good with the really bad
shaelight
I love this comment!
notme222
My comment loves you back!
boodoopeoplemurderpeople
Modern medicine can return sight to anyone if the blindness isn't caused by damage to the optic system.
mountainofpuppies
geneticists are working on that, using skin cell derived stem cells to regrow it.. we're about to start trials for fixing spines with them

sadly science it preetty much one of the first things always to be cut back, when grants are awarded they barely take the scientists 1/?
mountainofpuppies
wages into account, i know many phd offers that will have you barely above min wage for 5 days a week when many people work 6-7 dys/week 2/?

Sigh..nerve damge..blind in one eye
MundaneFacts
Don't worry bro, the technology is gonna be here someday soon.

I hope so. I'd really love to be able to see 3-D movies...and whatever is to the right of me. I think it'll happen though.

SacreDoom
Not gonna happen. If you really wanna do something about it you could try contacting some professors who do research in the field [1]
CreepyPhlox
Thaaaat's how any dog greets its owners, blind or otherwise.
WowSoSparkly
Especially if everybody's being overly excited in the first place... sigh.
SmellingThePsychosphere
Thank you. I don't want to be a parade-rainer, but... yeah, that's how my dogs act if I've been out of the house for 20 minutes.
Scorpioli
You're killin me smalls..
ohnoanotherputz
True, but no less cute.
CreepyPhlox
Totally agree :)
summerglo
OP posted sauce and you really need sound for the fool effect. Without sound, that's how any dog greets its owners, but with sound? D'aawwww
mustbefunatparties
I seriously doubt that he got "eye surgery" to unblind him, tbh. Still a cute dog though.
fourteenroses
I intern at a veterinary ophthalmologist and I see cataract surgery done on dogs frequently! Here's a video: http://youtu.be/nrIWac1FX2o
bbirbb
Some dogs are born "blind" with cataracts.
fourteenroses
The can also develop them later in life, particularly if they have diabetes!
sweeneysgirl
The comments on the video say that he had cataracts and they caused him to lose his eyesight, but the cataracts were removed
fourteenroses
Here's a video of what the process is like http://youtu.be/nrIWac1FX2o I intern at a vet opthalmologist and he made this video!
zing000
If you look at the sauce I believe the dog is crying it's ass off
jdlsharkman
Probably just crying from the excruciating pain it is because they ran out of anesthetic half way through the operation.
zsejk
+1 for only reply today that made me chuckle
jdlsharkman
No, I'm not fun at parties and quite frankly I hate them.
Jennybeanss
You. I like.
anneboleynfan1
Holy crap look at his tail go
strudelman
I can't tell if this is any different from how he would have reacted to seeing them while still blind.
strudelman
Or, well. Not SEEING them, but you know what I mean.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
And I was all ready to be that smartass.
WhimsicalCalamari
According to some other comment, the dog wasn't born blind, and these were the same owners as when he went blind.
Barkinsons
Still, dogs identify others mostly through smell, eyesight has a much greater value for humans
TopHook
Check out the video he is crying through the whole thing.
Barkinsons
It's normal to tear up after eye surgery
LarryDNJR
Whimpering going my eyes hurt, so much light... help!!
BrainBlow
Much light. Such pain. Ow.

SAUCE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og1nMDl1K7g
ImaTallAssDude
THAT. IS. SO. CUTE.
H8ling
Thanks for warning us to turn sound off. Those women need to have their squeelers removed while at the vet.
rozzledozzle
Great to watch! So the dog HAD seen before, then lost his sight, then gotten it back. I was trying to imagine seeing for the first time.
shadycoulady
Thanks for the sauce, but the baby voices, oh god...
tangybreath
Whenever I speak to my dog in a higher tone, he immediately gets excited and happy and basically dances in joy for me.
StarLordLegendaryOutlaw
Was going to watch, your reply convinced me otherwise.
tangybreath
It's actually adorable. The cutie pie is so happy :)
TheCrazyDogLady
It may be annoying for us to hear but it's pretty instinctive for mammals to speak in higher pitch to babies. Dogs, like human babies, also
PoppinLochNessHopster
...wat mammal other than a human speaks?
TheCrazyDogLady
Respond better to higher voices, and get more excited and pay more attention.
shadycoulady
I know! I obviously do the same but there are about 5 people speaking like that at once in the video... drove me crazy.
FlyingTigerRose
Cried and cried, happy tears. God bless them all. What a sweet, sweet face that pup has! Thank you so much for this!
captaincampbell
ruined it for me
slixxer
I should never have watched this.. If I were the dog, I'd be happy to be deaf. These voices ಠ_ಠ

Thank you :) I very much appreciate your internet hug :)

This made me smile and thinking about my pups bouncing around every time I come home from work. Thanks! (pups=boxer / bullmastiff) :)
Bridge424
I love boxers!! I'm planning on adopting one from a shelter in a few months :) Couldn't be more excited!
TheCur
Fabulous and THANKS! Our boxer Remy was a rescue 9 yrs ago and he's a great dog (10 y/o now!). Rescue all the doggies!! :))
Jumpinjackieflash
Aren't dogs great? Ours doesn't bounce but she grins at us, and just looks totally goofy.
TheCur
They are! My two http://imgur.com/ds71IYD (Remy, white boxer 63lbs; Guinness, red brindled bullmastiff 127lbs)
Jumpinjackieflash
Beautiful dogs, the both of them! Love their names too!
imshibagel
Always blind though? People who've been blind all their life and given an ability to see actually don't know how to interpret what they (1)
imshibagel
see, for this dog to be like this leads me to believe he's either still very young, or could see at one point.
TownsendV228
Apparently the dog wasn't always blind. Either way, he would have recognised them by smell. They have an amazing sense of self.
ParadoxicalIntention
Dogs have a really amazing sense of smell though. He most likely recognized the smell of his owners, and was happy to see them.
KingGambitB
gonna go hug the shit outta my sleeping dog right now :D
inthemorning
Me too! Oh, wait... I don't have a dog :(
Jumpinjackieflash
I hope not literally! ;) Mine is staring at me so I will take her for a walk, so...I'm outta here!
EGOT
Someone is a fan of "my dog: the paradox"
Jumpinjackieflash
It's a piece that I've always seen as "Dog v. Cat," and the cat part is written like he's a prisoner in a concentration camp, but the dog
EGOT
Oh yeahhh! You're right. My dog the paradox is "...love that guy"
Jumpinjackieflash
only says, "Food! My favorite thing!" "Walks! My favorite thing!" etc. :)
EGOT
"watching tv with the people! My favorite thing!"
Jumpinjackieflash
"Going for a ride in the car! My favorite thing!" It reminds me of the joy I felt as a child...
