The blind Golden Retriever who has thrilled the world by finding his owner: “There is nothing like it”
Mason, a blind Golden Retriever, uses his heightened senses to find his owner in a viral video that’s melting hearts across social media.
A blind Golden Retriever named Mason is capturing hearts around the world after a touching video of his daily routine went viral on TikTok. In the clip, posted to the Mason the Blind Golden account, the dog is seen eagerly navigating his home the moment he hears his owner walk through the door.
Golden Retrievers are already known for their affectionate nature, but Mason’s sweet reaction has taken that to a whole new level. “The best welcome home. Nothing quite like it,” the caption reads—a sentiment that’s resonated with hundreds of thousands of viewers.
How to care for a blind dog
According to Burns Court Veterinary Care, caring for a blind dog like Mason requires thoughtful adjustments around the home. First and foremost, keeping the living space tidy is key—fewer obstacles mean fewer chances for injury. Sharp or hazardous objects should be kept out of reach, and baby gates are recommended to block stairways.

The importance of other senses
With vision gone, hearing becomes one of the dog’s most critical senses. Experts suggest speaking to blind dogs often to provide comfort and orientation, while keeping background noise—like the TV or music—at a moderate level to avoid disorientation. Adding bells to the collars of other pets in the house can also help blind dogs like Mason locate their furry companions more easily.
Scent also plays a major role in helping visually impaired dogs navigate their world. Keeping familiar scents—through toys, blankets, or designated areas in the house—can provide a reassuring sense of place.

Mason’s heartwarming video has already racked up close to half a million views and more than 100,000 likes, with fans flooding the comments section. “My favorite part is when he gets close but isn’t quite sure where I am, so he just kisses the air until we find each other,” one user wrote, sharing their own story of life with a blind pup.
In a world full of noise, it’s often the quiet, tender moments—like Mason’s joyful greeting—that remind us what unconditional love really looks like.
