At the age of five, Bitsy the deaf and blind dog shared a special bond with her loving grandpa, Steve. When Hayden Kristal first brought Bitsy home, Steve had concerns about her ability to navigate the world on her own. However, those worries quickly faded away as Steve saw the spirited and adventurous nature of his granddog.
Bitsy proved herself to be a resilient and independent spirit. Despite her disabilities, she embarked on various adventures with her mother, including trekking, kayaking, and even skateboarding across the nation. Kristal described her furry companion as the kindest, most affectionate, and devoted dog she had ever known. Bitsy’s bold personality and love for exploration truly made her unique.
Steve developed an immense adoration for his granddog, exceeding all expectations. They spent as much time together as possible, with Steve proudly boasting to anyone who would listen about Bitsy’s incredible qualities. Spoiling her with treats and toys, he revels in their special bond and cherishes their moments together.
However, their lives took a pause when COVID restrictions forced them apart. Both Kristal and Bitsy struggled with the separation from their families, especially Steve. It was a challenging year that tested their patience and longing to be reunited.
Finally, after over a year of longing, Bitsy and her grandpa had a poignant reunion. Steve feared that the vastness of time apart may have caused Bitsy to forget him. But his worries were quickly dispelled as he arrived within scent range and witnessed Bitsy’s overwhelming joy.
In a heartfelt Facebook post, Steve shared, “As soon as I arrived within scent range, she completely lost her mind with delight. And so did I.” Their bond was unbreakable, and Bitsy’s love for her grandpa knew no bounds.
Bit by bit, Bitsy exemplified that her strengths far outweighed her disabilities. She showcased an incredible and loving spirit that brought immense joy to those around her. The reunion served as a reminder of the unwavering love they shared.
Throughout the separation, Kristal had always believed that the deep connection between her beloved dog and her dad would endure. Now that they are reunited, the world feels a little warmer for everyone involved. The power of love is truly remarkable, and this heartwarming reunion is a testament to its enduring strength.
