Blind Dog's Blessing: Couple's Touching Tribute at Wedding

In November 2025, a heartwarming story emerged about a blind and deaf dog named Benjamin who found a loving home with a couple in his final days. Benjamin, a bully mix, was previously at a shelter before being taken in by the animal nonprofit Wags & Walks, who then placed him with Meghan and Matt Rogers as a "forever foster" family.

Adapting Benjamin to their home wasn't easy for the couple, as the dog suffered from various medical issues, including seizures. However, Meghan and Matt's love for Benjamin only grew, and when it came time to plan their wedding, they knew they had to include their beloved pet.

On the day of their backyard ceremony, the most amazing thing happened. Despite being completely blind and deaf, Benjamin walked up directly between Meghan and Matt, as if he knew he needed to be there. This touching moment brought everyone to tears, and the couple felt it was Benjamin's stamp of approval on their union.

Tragically, Benjamin passed away the following weekend after the wedding. Meghan and Matt cherish the special memory they have of their dog's presence on their special day, and they encourage others to consider fostering older animals, as Benjamin taught them so much about patience, perseverance, and enjoying the little things in life.
