Mahjong was brought to a rural MO veterinarian to be euthanized simply because he’s deaf. Fortunately the Vet refused and got him to a special needs herding breed rescue in St Louis, from where I adopted him 1/2024. Mahjong is a fantastic example of the capabilities of deaf dogs. He’s earned his CGC and Therapy Dog certifications, does Agility, loves hiking—-especially if there are creeks involved and classes at HSC. He is the only dog I know who can get total strangers to pet him everywhere he goes…whether on the trail or at the oil change place. He greets everyone with a big smile and a tail wag. He’s also got a mischievous streak. If stealing a sock, he has to be sure that he’s being seen…theft is no fun unless you’re chased! He’s a smart, affectionate, outgoing, handsome and silly dog…who just happens to be deaf.
