This hard of hearing shelter dog has been adopted by a speech therapist who is teaching him sign language!

 

family for life

Allison Arnold and her companion were looking for a dog, and found the gem by looking at the adoption records on Best Friends Animal Society, an American animal welfare association.

Sailor, a white dog with a big smile and beautiful blue eyes, was learning sign language with volunteers at her shelter. Easily distracted at first, he quickly concentrated when he realized he would have treats during the educational sessions!

Upon meeting Sailor, Allison and her companion decided they wanted to help her continue her sign language learning by welcoming her into their family!

A rapid transition

After a few days with her new family, Sailor relaxed and was able to resume classes to learn new sign language commands! Her new speech therapist mom is used to working with hearing-impaired children to help them communicate, so she uses her knowledge to educate her dog.
