Deaf Dogs
For the first time, I got to meet and spend a couple of hours with a deaf dog yesterday. He is a 17 month old Dogo, and all puppy. All the Dogos I had seen previously were much larger than him, so I assumed that he was a very young puppy. Anyway, a nicer dog, I've never seen. Appears to be pure energy on four legs, played wonderfully with an itty bitty BC puppy (had blood on his face from the needle teeth), and did a nice round of smackdown with Khan. Gave me the nicest, sloppy little kisses too. Quite honestly, if the owner hadn't told me that he was deaf, I wouldn't have known. There was nothing 'off' about his body language WRT dogs or people. Is that normal? I assumed that not being able to hear would put a dog at a disadvantage when it comes to interactions, but that doesn't appear to be the case, at least with Diego. Suja |
