Angie, a gorgeous white deaf pittie, was with her owner when the owner suddenly died of a heart attack while doing the evening dishes. Angie’s owner was also deaf, and she used signs to communicate with Angie.
When she walked into the shelter, Angie was puzzled. She looked at our hands and our faces as if hoping we could sign, “It will be okay,” but all we could offer her was a scratch behind her ears.
Thankfully, everything would soon be okay! The owner’s ex-partner contacted the shelter, sent a photo of Angie, and asked when she could pick Angie up so their human and canine family could be together in grief.
When Angie saw the woman’s familiar face, her tail swooped from side to side, and the woman instantly signed “Angie.” Tears flowed from that moment of joy amidst their grief.
