Researchers at Rice University have developed a haptic feedback vest and camera system for a blind dog.
The vest helps guide the dog through daily obstacles and the hope is that it will soon do the same for other pups.
The final prototype can "see" to a distance of 8 meters ( 26 ft ) and has a battery life that lasts about two hours .
