Meet Jack, a blind labrador who recently won the title of Judge's Favorite in a British water sports competition. Jack suffers from progressive retinal atrophy, a common genetic disease, that robbed him of his sight when he was six. He is now ten.

According to his loving owner, Margaret Simpson, who adopted Jack when he had already lost his sight, nothing seems to get in Jack's way.

"When we got him, he was losing his sight and we taught him how to stop, look left and right, and when we were out walking, wherever there was water, he could sense it," Simpson, a native of Coventry, England, told the Daily Mail. "Then he started going into ponds and canals using only his smell, putting his head underwater and bringing back big rocks."
