"I was brought into the city shelter as a stray who had been roaming the neighborhood for quite a while. The ACO brought me to the front office to show off and that's where Mom saw me first. They all told me how beautiful I was and then I got sent to my cell. I didn't feel good so I didn't mind." Mom, "The next day the ACO told me he thought the pretty dog might be deaf. Well of course I had to check this out. We did several rudimentary tests and decided it was true. (When the whole shelter would be in an uproar and he was sleeping soundly - that was a sign!) He was very skinny, had kennel cough and we had no rescues for deaf animals at that time. It took quite a while to straighten out his intestinal issues (worms, diarreah, etc) but once he was feeling better - his true personality shined through! He's very loving, affectionate, SMART!, and willing to learn. Within the past few months he's come out of a lot of the puppyness but still maintains his own sense of humor & goofiness. He supervises my every move, is a bit onery and has that look that gets him out of most trouble....I just can't resist! Gets along with EVERYONE and is appalled when kittens hiss at him! He hands out kisses with abandon, loves the baby grandson and will always be "My Dog"."
