Vermont Deaf Dogs
|
Town: Enosburg Falls,
Vermont Deaf dog: Max is a 7 year old Cocker Spaniel. His family says "I have had many dogs, but Max is special. He is simply brilliant, reasons things out and yet he is humble. He and I have a communication that goes way beyond what I share with our 2 hearing dogs. When we realized he was deaf, I took him to obedience classes. I made up most of my hand signals...now he's so tuned in to my hands he looks there first! Everyone is suprised to learn he is deaf because he is so much a 'regular' dog. He is calm and never agressive. A beautiful parti-colored cocker... my shadow..he is with me all over the house. He likes to lay where he can see me. And wiggles his whole body at me when I return home....I wouldn't trade my close relationship with my deaf dog for anything." Human companions: Catherine Noftz, Jeff, Alex and Sam Other pets: boxer..Phoebe, Lab..Gus, cats..zoey, jasper, kramer, sofia, george and gracie Email: cmnoftz@hotmail.com |
