The Philly Dog clued me in on the Littlest Angel Vest, a product for blind dogs, made by Shari Burghart in Springfield, Virginia. Shari created the vest when her 15-year-old miniature schnauzer, Scooter, became blind from inoperable diabetic cataracts. The vest, made from denim or cotton, has a plastic tube halo that surrounds the front of the dog, acting like a white cane would for a blind person. Shari developed the Littlest Angel Vest because she wanted to give Scooter a way of moving around with confidence and safety.

Scooter passed away back in 2000, but Shari makes and sells her creations online for those with blind dogs. She also offers helpful links
and tips
on how to live with a blind dog.

Littlest Angel Vests are made to order and are $20-$40, depending on size and style.
