This is the adorable moment a disabled dog jumps to catch raindrops for the first time after regaining his sight.

Pi the Border Collie was born blind in his right eye, and his brain damage meant he couldn't blink easily.

His owner, Anna Lopez, 52, was told he may not survive very long and that the pooch should have his eye removed.

Instead she opted to administering him eye drops on a daily basis, and after over two years was told he had regained some vision in his right eye.

Anna, who has 24 dogs, said: "That was the first time I saw him catching raindrops.

"I was so happy for Pi, he has discovered something new, he could see raindrops falling and he was enjoying catching them."

Anna adopted Pi when he was a just six-weeks-old, after hearing from his breeder that they weren't sure he would survive because of his disabilities.

She said: "Pi was a runt and seemed 'different', he wasn’t blinking his right eye nor responding to touches on his head or right eye.

"I took that chance, I was in love."
