The eye-catching contraption, dubbed ‘Muffin’s Halo’, aims to protect dogs who are either entirely blind or seriously visually impaired from running into walls, furniture and other objects. When the halo taps a hard surface, it sends a signal to the dog and they automatically go in a different direction. It comprises a lightweight copper wire that lets canines feel what they are bumping into before they hit their heads, as well as a comfortable harness that is shaped like a pair of angel wings.The harness, which straps under dogs’ necks, is available in all sizes and various designs. Silvie Bordeaux created ‘Muffin’s Halo’ in 2012 after her 13-year-old Toy Poodle Muffin lost his eyesight and started running into walls and falling down the stairs at their home in Los Angeles.
