Lumi is a young male Cocker Spaniel puppy rescued in Korea after suffering severe bilateral eye damage at a very early age. Due to the extent of his injuries, both eyes had to be surgically removed to save his life.
Despite undergoing a major surgery at such a young age, Lumi has shown remarkable resilience, adaptability, and emotional strength. He has recovered extremely well and is currently thriving in foster care. Though completely blind, Lumi navigates his environment confidently using sound, scent, and memory, and he lives a happy, playful puppy life with minimal limitations.
Lumi’s personality is best described as brave, affectionate, and joyful.
Despite being blind, he is not fearful and shows strong confidence in new environments once he learns spatial cues.
He bonds deeply with humans and responds quickly to familiar voices. Lumi enjoys physical affection, playtime, and being close to his caregivers. His foster reports that he behaves like any other happy puppy — curious, playful, and loving.
He recently traveled with his foster family during a holiday visit and interacted positively with another Cocker Spaniel, showing strong social skills. “Lumi doesn’t act like a blind puppy. He comes when called, wags his tail when he hears familiar voices, and plays confidently. He has no fear — only curiosity and trust.”
Accommodations for Lumi should include:
• Home should remain relatively consistent in layout
• Verbal cues are important and effective
• No stairs or dangerous drop-offs without barriers
• Otherwise, Lumi requires no extraordinary care. He is expected to live a full, happy, and active life.
Lumi's journey began with severe trauma, but his future is filled with promise. He is living proof that blindness is not a limitation when love, care, and opportunity are provided. Lumi brings joy, resilience, and warmth to everyone he meets — and he will make a deeply rewarding companion for a family willing to see the world through his courage.
Lumi’s case is a powerful example of how early intervention, proper medical care, and a nurturing environment can allow even a severely injured puppy to flourish. Cocker Friends Korea is grateful for Camp Cocker Rescue’s continued partnership and support in helping dogs like Lumi find futures defined not by their injuries, but by their strength
Lumi is 8 months old as of February 2026.
