	Town: Hilliard, Florida Deaf dog: Oliver Wooly is a 9 year old Old English Sheepdog. Oliver knows about 40 signs in ASL, and is a therapy dog as well. He is a big love with such soulful eyes. We just love him! Sad to think the breeder was considering having him put down due to deafness. I took him at 12 weeks, and 9 years later, we just couldn't imagine the family without him! Dobbin Dodger is a 6 month old Old English Sheepdog. Dobbin is up to about 6 signs in ASL and growing. He is a handful right now, but then again, what puppy isn't! His blue eyes and big pink nose spell 'cute trouble!' We were looking for another deaf OES when we found Dobbin, he's Oliver's apprentice!. Human companions: Stephanie George and Husband Other pets: Mollie Shannon, a Wheaten Terrier mix & Lilliput Little, a Shih Tzu. Email: StepheeAnn@hotmail.com
