Town: Killin , Scotland Deaf dog: Bess is a loving dog despite not having the best start in life. She loves to run and happily where we live she has a great deal of freedom. Bess has had a lot to overcome not least repetative behaviour from being tied up for long periods - cruel for any dog - torture for a Collie/Huntaway. But she has a wonderful character and loves everyone. Sadly, she developed arthritis in her front right wrist and had an operation just before Xmas to fuse the joint. She is currently patiently suffering restricted exercise, but still remains a happy, playful, mostly obedient dog. Human companions: Gill Hunt and family. Other Pets: Two dogs, two cats, twelve rats, three chinchillas, a ferret, two hamsters, three chickens, three wild ducks - that is all at the moment... I think... Email: gill@westerlix.co.uk |

Town: Dundee, Tayside,
Scotland Deaf dogs: Bouncer is a ten week old Old English Sheepdog. "We got Bouncer when he was about seven weeks old from PADS (a rescue center at Forteviot in Perthshire). He was in with one of his brothers who was also deaf, and as tempted as we were to adopt both dogs, our living space would not let us. Since arriving at his new home Bouncer has been no problems at all which we are really surprised at, so touch wood we are going to have a very happy life together." Human companions: Robbie Sulley and his three girls aged 7 14 and 16 Other pets: one hamster called tilly Email: robbiesulley299@msn.com |

Town: Fife Deaf dogs: Spike Spike is a 2 years and 8 months old Boxer. "Spike was offered to me through a friend as the person(Susan Miller of Helensburgh,now Oban)was moving house and job and could not look after Spike with the attention he needs,So after meeting Spike within 5mins max Susan said she Knew Spike and I were going to be very good friends.He is White with a brown patch over left eye.I can now let him off lead on the beach outside my home.One morning (early Sun)I let him go before I reached the normal let off point and then discovered 10-15 joggers behind me,yes you guessed it Spike went along with them,It took me 1hr to catch them tyring to explain the fact he was deaf (in between the ambulance man giving me oxygen lol).But thanks to susans early traing I have found the only thing that has changed for me is the fact I cant sit around at my computer for long anymore,and feel better for it."
