This deaf dog learned sign language so gained confidence and started a new life

Fortunately, caring people helped this wonderful dog flourish.

Pickle got off to a bad start. He was abandoned by the previous owners and taken to a shelter. Fortunately, caring people helped her flourish.

When he was only 3 months old, Pickle was handed over to the staff of The Blue Cross, Southampton, England due to hearing loss. His ex-family bought him from a breeder not knowing he was deaf.

In any case, Pickle is in very good hands today. When he arrived at the orphanage, he was shy and confused.

She taught him various gestures, such as stretching out her hand to keep him still, or raising his thumb up to congratulate him.

By learning sign language, Pickle overcame his shyness and gained self-confidence.

Lucky to find a loving and reliable owner. He was recently adopted by a Devon couple who had just lost a 17 year old collie.

Now Pickle loves to cuddle and walk outside the city, as well as on the beach. He quickly and perfectly adapted to his new life, which is very pleasant. His new owners use the sign language he learned every day.

“He is so cute that when we kneel next to him, he wraps his paws around our hands,” his adoptive mother said. “It’s like he’s holding us.
