A blind dog that captured the hearts of animal lovers when a cute video of him went viral is searching for a forever home.<br/><br/>Three-year-old Benedict lost his sight when he developed an infection and vets had no choice but to remove his eyes to save his life.<br/><br/>The adorable German Shepherd is now being cared for by Immingham Dogs Home in north east Lincolnshire.<br/><br/>Centre owner Kelly Magee posted a heartwarming video of Benedict on Facebook showing him jumping up and hugging her.<br/><br/>Despite racking up more than 70,000 views, Kelly says the charity has not received a single application to adopt Benedict.<br/><br/>He is currently staying with a temporary foster family but Kelly and her team are desperate to find him a forever home.<br/><br/>Mum-of-two Kelly, 46, said: “He’s only been with us since November and he went into foster care in January. <br/><br/>“We thought within three months he would be adopted but he hasn’t been. <br/><br/>“I think it’s because how often do you see a dog with no eyes. <br/><br/>“There’s blind dogs all over the place, but I guess it’s very unusual to see them without <br/>eyes.<br/><br/>“As a dog, he’s just a very normal dog. <br/><br/>“He’s had his eyes removed as there was so much pressure on them, pushing them out of his head. <br/><br/>“He had an infection and the pressure was building. They removed one and then the pressure was too much for the other.<br/><br/>“It was just a year-and-a-half ago that he had the operation.”<br/><br/>Since losing his sight, Benedict has learned to follow people’s voices or a bell which helpers ring to guide him.<br/><br/>Kelly, who cares for 36 dogs at the centre, added: “It’s very sad that he hasn’t been adopted yet. <br/><br/>“He deserves a home and has done so well with adapting.<br/><br/>\
