I’ve seen them too, and the edges of the spikes are not always completely filed down. So, while they might be hollow, they are rubbing the dog and causing sores.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
