A deaf dog named Dave has found his perfect home, against all odds. This six-year-old Pit Bull mix was in the Humane Society of Midland County shelter after rescuers found him wandering the streets of Grand Rapids. And he was selected among the protagonists of the Empty the Shelters event in Michigan, but while 29,000 strays found a home, he was not one of them.
Dave went back to the kennel and kept waiting for his adopter. But it was Facebook that worked the miracle: 14-year-old Walker Cousineau saw Dave’s photo on a post and called for him. “There’s a deaf dog there: it must be mine!” He said. They invited him to come and meet him, and when he arrived with his mother Mindy, it was clear that she was the right person for him.
Walker started losing his hearing four years ago, due to Alport syndrome – a rare genetic disorder that affects the eyes, kidneys and inner ear. “Dave went straight to Walker,” Mindy said. “We knew we wouldn’t leave without him.” And so it was.
The bond between Walker and Dave has developed rapidly since the pet’s adoption. The faithful puppy can already sense when Walker is in need of extra love. “When Walker feels overwhelmed by events, Dave just comes over to calm him down.” A lovely perfect couple.
