More: Bronson has been my sidekick since he was 8 weeks old. My constant. At 17.5, He is now deaf and blind due to age and so, I am his seeing eye human. This photo was in December 2021 and you can see that loss of hearing and vision has not stopped him from enjoying the wilderness. He holds it close to his heart as I do mine. He is gentle, loving and most of all resilient. He is my dog.
