Vanna
Town: Arcata, California
Deaf dogs: Vanna is a 1 year old Olde English Bulldogge mix? I was volunteering at the Sheriff's animal shelter in Mckinleyville when Vanna came up for adoption. Animal control found her in Scotia without tags after she was hit by a motorcycle. We got attatched when I started walking her, and I couldn't let her go. I wish I knew what her breed was. She has dark spots all over her belly, but they're hidden by her fur. She loves to be near me, and to sit down with her head on my lap. she also loves pulling me on my skateboard while chasing a laser pointer. I couldn't imagine any other dog being a better companion.
Human companion: Brett Smith

Camera Shy
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.
