The blind dogs are not truly blind. Long ago one wit in Shuttered said that any dog who had so much hair before its eyes must be blind and the name stuck. The blind dogs are a stocky and hairy breed that range from brown to white. Their puppies sicken easily and require expert care, but as adults they are sturdy, friendly, and loyal. However, despite their winning personalities, they are most valued for their bark. A blind dog will bark fiercely in the presence of ghosts and other spirits and some will bark at any invisible or undead creature. They do so without being trained, although it can take some training to make them not bark at cats, each other and sunbeams as well. A few rare blind dogs have a bark that drives off the undead as a cleric with the turn undead ability.
