Town: Magnolia, Mississippi Deaf dog: Joxer is a 15 month old Great Dane. "Joxer is just a sweet lovable goof-ball. He goes to work everyday with my mom and I at the flower shop. He loves people, but sometimes, of course, he can be a little bit mischievious. I have learned a lot from Joxer, and I have more respect for deaf people than I did before. I have a different, almost stronger, connection with Joxer than I do with my other dogs." Human companions: Jennifer C. Dacus Other pets: The "Muts", Ruby, Riker and Mytuke; and Ms. Peeper, the queen of cats. Email: justmejd19@yahoo.com |
 Frankie |
Town: Water Valley, Mississippi Deaf dog: Frankie is a 3 year old American Pit Bull Terrier mix. "Frankie's a great guy. We adopted him in May of 2002 after we saw him on petfinder.org. He is so smart. Most people don't believe he's deaf because he's so attentive. He doesn't miss a thing. Anyone looking for a dog shouldn't rule out a deaf dog. If you have a little extra time to spend with them, they make wonderful pets." Human companions: Jamie Mockbee, her husband David and his son, also David. Email: intheweb@watervalley.net |
