Blind Golden Retriever wears halo hoop to stop her running into things

A blind Golden Retriever puppy who loves to run and explore has an innovative accessory to stop her getting hurt.

Lovey, a one year-old Golden Retriever, was born blind, and now wears a clever 'Muffins Halo' to stop her bumping into things, The Mirror reports.

Her visual impairment was caused by hydrocephalus, a brain condition, but she still loves to explore in her garden and play with her big dog brothers.

The accessory looks like a basketball hoop, with the metal loop protruding further than her face so that it bumps into objects before she does, helping to prevent injuries.

Her owner shared an adorable video to their TikTok account which showed Lovey playing in the garden and bumping into a telegraph pole with the halo on.

The video has since been viewed over 60,000 times.

One user joked: “She’s like ‘wow, I literally did NOT see that coming’”, to which her owner responded, “We make blind jokes too!”

Another said: “A running basketball hoop!”

One added: “Out there playing bumper cars full speed with that post!”
