Making new friends can be awkward even for humans; imagine doing it without being able to see or hear. That makes this meeting between Neve and Nala, two deaf and blind French Bulldogs, moving. Their foster mom, Kelsie (@kelsayer on Instagram), shared the clip, and throughout, you see the girls rely on scent and touch to figure each other out. Both foster dogs have been through a lot, but in this short video, you can tell they are ready to trust again. And as we know, that’s when magic begins to happen.
Internet adores deaf and blind foster dogs interacting with each other in video
The video has melted hearts everywhere, with viewers calling it “magical” and “a gift to watch.” It opens with Neve and Nala exploring the room, each sniffing a different corner before their worlds gently collide. Neve senses something nearby — she lifts her nose, curious — and then Nala toddles over to investigate. A cautious sniff later, Neve startles, unsure, while the on-screen text reads, “Neve was a little uneasy and needed some reassurance.” That reassurance arrives instantly: a few soft pets from Kelsie’s hands. Slowly, Neve relaxes.
Frenchies are famously clingy and people-loving, which makes it all the more amazing how these two manage without sight or sound. The lack of sensory input means these greetings rely entirely on subtle air currents and smell.
Soon after, the two begin what can only be described as a cautious friendship. There’s a sweet tug-of-war for lap space, both dogs nudging closer, seeking warmth and affection. Then they start to move about the room — each on their own, yet entirely in tune. By the end, both are nestled together in their foster mom’s lap, safe, loved, and calm.
Let’s just say everyone in the comments was crying — in the best way possible. One follower wrote, “My heart just grew!” Another said, “You can feel the love from your hands to them.” And the most fitting of all: “Oh, this is pretty magical.” Because it really, truly is.
