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.

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.
