A week after my husband brought Daisy (a catahoula leapord dog) home from a hunting trip, we realized she was deaf. I came home from work one day and called for her, only to find her with her head caught in the garden fence. My heart dropped because, not knowing she couldn't hear me, I thought she must have strangled herself in the fence. When I touched her, she woke up and I got her tiny head out. She now knows hand signals and is a wonderful addition to our family. I feel we were meant for each other. Had she stayed to become a hunting dog, who knows what would have happened when they found out about her disability.
