How would you describe your dog? What’s their personality? How soft are they? What other animals do they look like?
This is what Stephen Shkuratoff of Calgary, Canada, wanted to know. Shkuratoff is a devoted dog lover and a blind man. He is also a member of the Facebook group Dogspotting Society — a place for members of different Dogspotting groupsto discuss their own dogs and get to know other group members.
Dogspotting is what it sounds like — a Facebook page where you can post photos and videos of random, adorable dogs you spot out in the world. Often Dogspotting posters let their photos do the talking, just providing written information on the dog’s name and where they were spotted.
To be able experience more of the canine cuteness Dogspotting has to offer, Shkuratoff posted a sweet ask on the Dogspotting Society Facebook page.
“I love being a member of this group!” Shkuratoff’s post reads. “I am blind and was hoping to ask for more dog descriptions. Personality traits are more helpful than colors. Like how soft the dog is, for example. Bonus as always for dogs full of kisses and snuggles. Thanks for making me feel included. Hope no one minds me asking for descriptions a lot recently.”
No one in the group minded, instead they were eager to share creative descriptions of their pooches. Shkuratoff received over 2,000 responses to his request.
