A Blind Dog (1st 3D Animation of Assam)

Every dog owner is familiar to that irresistible and imploring gaze of their dog that yearns for reciprocation. The bond between humans and dogs is very quickly established due to natural body chemistry wherein both the species release the same hormone called oxytocin upon that look of mutual recognition.

This unique bond of attraction and love makes the dog man’s best friend. But what if the dog is blind? How does a blind dog still connect with humans as much like a normal dog? A Blind Dog is a real-life based special story of the relationship between a musician and his blind dog. Ryan is a guitarist and singer who came across this blind dog one day while strolling on the sidewalk singing a song. He noticed this dog walking beside him as long as he sang. He realized that the dog is blind only when he resumed singing and the dog came running at the sound of his voice. The dog’s alacritous attraction towards Ryan’s voice immediately struck a chord in Ryan’s heart. Ryan got a loyal listener in this dog he then named ‘Rocky’ and it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship that will last for eternity.

Touched by his malady of blindness, Ryan took Rocky everywhere he went. As Rocky’s emotions got stimulated by Ryan’s voice, Ryan preferred to sing and let Rocky follow his voice instead of pulling him with a rope collar. From morning walks to evening strolls by the alleys and to nearby fields, the short animation shows Ryan singing all the while and playing the guitar and Rocky happily eloping and running around to the beat of Ryan’s smoky-husky voice. Ryan’s voice is so powerful to Rocky that he runs around to his voice safely even in the presence of a bonfire. Years pass by and Rocky grows old, but the bonding only strengthens.

The story comes to an end when Rocky dies. Ryan sings the final lines with a heavy heart as he stares at Rocky’s grave. This simple story brings out a special and heartfelt message about the presence of strong emotional ties with animals outside the realm of human relations. Humans should treat all animals altruistically as animals are hardwired with emotions the same way as humans.
