Camera Shy
Daisy
Town: Captiva, FL
Deaf dog: Closer to death than life, starved, filthy, matted-coat, fragile, confused and afraid, When my wife first saw this emaciated toy poodle at the local "pound",Sharon saw past the appalling appearance. She saw a beautiful being, with a fierce desire to live and love.A staff member explained the young dog's history. A distraught person who reported the almost constant half bark, half screams of a distressed dog, had called the authorities. When the officials arrived at the empty house they discovered the desperate dog in the bottom of an empty swimming pool, no water, no food and no shade from the southwest Florida Summer sun.This rescued dog had been at the "pound" for one day and the veterinarians were not sure she would survive.At the moment Sharon was introduced to this wonderful animal, the dog wrapped her front legs, as tightly as her weak muscle could, around Sharon's ankle. Two spirits met and bonded in love.With medical care and grooming she was as fresh as a daisy, and so Daisy came home to her new family.Daisy was showered with loving acceptance and patience. During her first visit to a private Vet, the Doc discovered her back knees were malformed. Daisy had a peculiar behavior of walking while holding the top of head tucked down low near the side of her paws. The vet suspected neurological damage.When Daisy did not react to sounds the Vet confirmed our observations of the obvious: Daisy was deaf. The Doc said malnutrition was most likely the cause of her physical challenges.Sharon and I committed to include Daisy into our lives. We sensed Daisy had a great gift to give: the spirit of joyful aliveness.
Human companions: Sharon and family
Other pets: None
