The author states that she doesn’t want a deaf dog owner to feel the hoplessness and fear of loss that she experienced when she discovered that her puppy was deaf; then she does just that. Owning a deaf dog is no more of a challenge then owning any dog. A good dog training book was a better investment with much more practical information than can be obtained by reading this one.

All the reviews re this book were good. Positive infomation and insights can always be used to benefit everyone involved. It’s horribly shocking to me how and why anyone would hit their beloved pet. WHY? That does not work …. ever. It only instills fear and no love. It is not ever necessary to use any type of violence with pets or children. As a family, we’ve loved and lived with 20+ poochies (kitties too) in our lives. Many of our pets lived to be 16 and 17 years old. Ginger eventually became deaf as well as Maxx ….. old age. Miles lost all of his hearing when he was maybe 14 or 15. Also, our 18 year old kitty Muffee was totally deaf when we found him wandering on our back porch steps. He was starved ….. sick, every exhausted and ill. I think Muff slept in our special back room for 3 full days. Just eating good food, drinking fresh water and sleeping. Muffee has been gone for many years. We still remember how fun and funny this kitty was though. I named him Muffee (had zero idea he was a boy!) because this kitty looked like a “muff” ….. all (his fur was terribly shabby and coarse …. until we fattened him up) white, with gorgeous green eyes. we had no idea In June of this (2009) year, four months after our precious red cocker spaniel Miles died, I “found” LUCY, (black cocker spaniel) another (she is about 9 or 10 …. no one really knows for sure) old soul (on-line) at New Leash On Life,(in Chicago.) Lucy is/was totally deaf. So yes, we did know what to expect. Her ears were a nightmare for a long-long time because of neglect. Most likely this is what caused her overall deafness. Terribly sad and unfortunate. Luce was in very-very-very severe shape when rescued. We are fortunate to have our sweet girl. Now has a lovely life, just a completely different and very trusting pooch. Loving, kind, & funny, but also, a tad stubborn. Can’t really mind that too much after what Luce has been through in her past. Having her around with our 14 year old poodle Jamie is wonderful. Jamie missed Miles so very much when he died. Would look for him continually in the back yard. So now, with Lucy, Jamie is absolutely much-much better. Very cheerful, and not gloomy any longer because he has a girlfriend named LUCY!

This book truelly provides an insight into deaf dogs and ways to assist ones communication problems. At last I have found a book that shares my awareness and provides deaf dogs with a chance in life for survival.
