Inspecting her card better I saw the reason she was free
the card said she was purchased and returned by her owner because she was found to be deaf....Well it just so happens that I teach all my dogs American sign lang. and hand comands for everything they do having lost our beloved terrier Baby how could carry out 50 plus commands with no sound from me I thought hey I can totally be this dogs lifeline so I walked up to the sales lady and said Ide like that deaf dog please. Well after drooling ALL OVER my leg and boy do I mean all over on the car ride home low and behold if my new dogs deaf im the freaking queen of england they GAVE ME a dog they had sold for 900 dollars for free cause she was deaf!!!!! After her vet check ( Totally perfect health ) she came home for good. Roseys 2 now and the light of my nieces life but that dog and I will always have a special connection she knows I loved her even when she was " deaf " ...Sorry for rambling but I just wanted to prove how STUPID pet stores are when it comes to dogs |
thank you for the story that was beautiful! i'm amazed at how little pet stores care about the puppies they put in the windows. they fake it in front of customers, but i wouldn't be surprised at how they treated them during the off hours
i'm glad your beautiful dog has a great home and can be trained so wonderfully by you and loved!! congrats on a perfect dog
