Lauren Collier visited our home to highlight how wonderfully special our deaf dogs are in our families. She called our Judea, my service dog extraordinaire, a “Miracle Dog!” Of course, I completely agree.

Judea came into our lives at eight-weeks of age. She had been discarded because she was deaf. The Dalmatian rescue group in Pennsylvania knew about Hogan, our first deaf dog, who made international fame and brought international attention to these special family members. After calling us and inquiring if we would be willing to adopt a deaf puppy, my husband, Jim, and I were filled with great excitement. We drove from Connecticut to Pennsylvania, taking Clarence, my yellow Labrador and service dog, along to meet his new sister. The rest is history.

Watch and enjoy!
