The Gospel of Ray Charles, the Blind Dog Who Saw Humanity Perfectly
Meet Ray Charles, a ten-year-old blind dog who had a loving owner, a comfy home, and a peaceful retirement. However, his life took a dramatic turn when he lost everything within a week.
His story reveals more about us than him, touching on themes of love, loss, family, and the moral complexities of human relationships. As
people will cross oceans to “save” a dog online but won’t check on the lonely neighbor next door, it raises questions about our priorities.
The name "Ray Charles" for a blind dog showcases
peak human cleverness, similar to naming a paraplegic turtle "Speedy." Despite the irony, the name highlights that people accepted and loved him despite his differences.
