Town: Willits, California Deaf dog: Hamlet is a 3 year old Dalmatian. He was adopted from the local dog pound. Apparently they did not know he was deaf. He is very friendly even with strangers. He shares his 20 acre mountaintop home with a hearing Dalmatian, a small terrier, and sheep. He has very strong visual acuity. Since the two dogs generally run together, I can call Hamlet by calling out to King Lear Human companions: Ray & Gail Harrie Other pets: 9 year old Dalmatian King Lear, 6 year old Jack Russell Terrier Nikki, two sheep and a cat.

Human companions: Karen Seydel Other pets: cairn terrier, Norwegian lundehund, dalmation Email: piper@saber.net |
