VIDEO: Blind dog wins fetch competition

When a Labrador Retriever wins a national pet competition for his ability to swim-and-fetch, it's usually not a big deal because labs are the Ryan Lochte's of the dog world.
What makes this achievement remarkable is that this dog from England lost his sight three years ago.
That's right, Jack the dog is blind.
On land, his owners had to teach the 10-year-old lab to stop and how to look left and right -- but in the water, Jack was all instinct, jumping in and fetching anything they threw him. And a champion was born!
Watch video of Jack in the water embedded below.
