This beautiful Happy Tail was submitted by Sara Jean Stevens. For as much as we have taught him…he has taught us way more. ![]() We have promised ourselves that we will always and forever rescue a deaf dog. He is home, and has made our lives infinitely better. Our hearts burst with love for him, and we cannot imagine that we ever thought he would be better off in someone else’s home. He is the happiest creature I have ever known. At the dog park he knows no pecking order, and within minutes has every dog there running and playing with him. He found his voice, and sees that when he makes this sound (vibration for him) we react. He always knows where we are in the house, and will pop up out of a deep sleep to make sure we’re still there. He has the eternal baby face, and is such a curious, hilarious little guy. We can only imagine what mix of breeds he is. He went from being snow white with spotted ears, to having more spots than we can count. He went from a starved 25 pounds (with worms), to a strong, healthy 45 pounds full grown. But slowly, slowly, we learned more and more American Sign Language. We doubted ourselves for a minute, and thought he might be better off with a family who has experience with deaf dogs. Life with a deaf 10 month old puppy wasn’t easy at first. They have quite the big sister/little brother relationship, but it’s very apparent when other dogs come around that she would protect him with her life. Piper was not sold on this new roommate immediately. As much as I’m Piper’s girl…Justin is Defcon’s boy. I’ve never seen such a stong boy-and-his-dog bond. He took him for his first bath, and they were forever imprinted on one another. The next day (in a blizzard) Justin went back to adopt him. So here I am, facing this deaf, white, pitty mix…the opposite of everything I thought I wanted. Right away he wanted to snuggle and give kisses and was so gentle when other dogs passed by. We took him to an indoor play pen to play. They found him on the street at 7 months old, and had been in the pound for about 3. We checked his tag and it said he was a special needs dog. Desi was laying in his cage, head on his paws…totally oblivious to the noise around him. We took one little guy outside for a walk, but he just wasn’t the one. ![]() We went in, and started wandering the sad, dirty cages. I just felt this dire need to go that day. I wouldn’t tell my husband Justin where we were going, and when we pulled up he was mad, and convinced I had a dog already picked out from the website. Then one day, not long after, I got the itch to visit the city pound… the saddest place in Chicago. We then decided to hold off and wait until Spring. We visited PAWS, and Anti-Cruelty (where I got Piper), but we didn’t seem to make any connections. Right away we talked about adopting a little buddy for her, and I was convinced I wanted a wire haired, scruffy, small, black rescue mutt. I rescued her from a shelter 5 years ago when she was 1. In December 2010 my husband (then fiance) and I moved into a big coach house together, with my dog Piper. ![]()
