I love this story! It's about a deaf dog named Sparky. I'd read about him in People magazine this week and what this article doesn't say is that the breeders were thisclose to putting him to sleep because he's deaf. They figured he was no good to anyone and that no one would want him.Then, he was adopted by a family that decided his "handicap" was to much to handle so they deposited him at a shelter.
From there he went to a prison in Licking Missouri (you can't make this stuff up!), where he was taught sign language.
Now he happily resides at a school for the deaf where the students love him and are teaching him more sign language. How cool is that?
Did I mention that I love this story? ;)
Happy Easter!

How sweet!
Also, I went to college just down the road from Licking. Swear on my honor, there was a big building called the Licking Exchange there. I wanted to drive around looking for the Licking School, but I wasn't in charge of the car. :)
