Like great musicians before him — Beethoven, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder — Braille the dog doesn’t let his disabilities keep him from his passions.
The two-year-old Australian Shepherd was born blind and deaf due to irresponsible breeding, reports the Detroit Free Press, but can perform all the tricks a sighted, hearing dog can do, and then some.
Along with learning basic commands through tactile cues, Braille has also learned how to play the piano.
This dedication to trying new things has earned Braille a Novice Trick Dog title from the American Kennel Club. Never one to quit, Braille is already working on his Intermediate title.
