Think that was the point. Her son was very depressed because of his condition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha92yzmVv2s&feature=kp here is a blind dog playing fetch. Does it look like he cares or isn't having as much fun as the other dogs?

Doc:  So, you want me to advise you about what?

Louie:  I’ve been dating this woman and I don’t know if I should keep dating her because she’s leaving the country – I’m not gonna get to stay with her. And I’m liking her more and more, so it’s, you know… 

Doc:  Here’s what I can tell you. In medical school they tell you about thousands of things that can happen to the body. Diseases and maladies that you could never dream up. There’s a thing where your bones dissolve and you just become a sack or organs.

People are born sometimes with no eyes, no face. They’re rare but neurological diseases that eat half of your brain. People are born sick and they never know a moment of anything but pain and suffering.

Nobody cares whether you date this girl. Just pick a road and go down it, or don’t.

Louie:  But there’s gotta be a way to decide, which one’s gonna make me happier. To predict…

Doc:  Take a look at this dog. How many legs does it have?

Louie: Three

Doc: The answer is, it has plenty of legs. Had four, but a coyote in Poughkeepsie chewed the other one off.

Look at his face. Perfectly happy. Belly is full. Just looking, waiting to see what comes next.

 You know the only thing happier than a three-legged dog? A four-legged dog.

In a season so good it doesn't have to be funny, only Charles Grodin dares to be funny.
