World, meet Lyla — a sweet pup who, despite being blind and deaf, is no less capable of recognizing the people she cares about the most.
For her, their love is in the air.

Recently, Lyla’s dad Mark Reed shared proof of that firsthand.
Reed had evidently decided to set up a chair in the yard where Lyla was out exploring. Though the dog had no way of seeing or hearing that Reed had joined her there, his welcome presence didn’t go undetected for long.
With one happy sniff, even from a distance away, Lyla’s nose detected her dad — and her heart was filled with joy:
@markreed2009When she all of a sudden smells my scent 😭😭😭😭😭😭♬ original sound – markreed6096
It’s likely a scene that plays out all the time for Lyla’s family, but that doesn’t detract from the beauty in her sweet reaction — knowing Lyla’s lack of sight and hearing does nothing to diminish her ability to love and to be loved.
And in the end, that’s what matters most.
