I am very sorry to hear about your dog. It is very difficult to evaluate eyes from a photograph as we aren't able to look into the multiple layers of the eyes, but it looks like this could be affecting the cornea, or outer surface of the eye, and isn't likely a true blindness affecting the lens or optic nerve but is that your pup cannot see through the cloudy surface. This can be caused by a multitude of problems including lack of tear production and infections. We could also have a uveitis which is affecting the interior of the eye and causing inflammation and aqeous flare leading to cloudiness. I would recommend an examination by a vet as some of these problems may be treatable with medications.
