In February, a mixed breed pit bull named Charlotte arrived at the Sarasota, Florida animal shelter, surprising everyone on the team for a number of reasons. One was that the dog seemed to ignore everyone, preferring to remain isolated and quiet, but they soon discovered that this was because she was deaf.
The dog was rescued from a situation of abuse and neglect, it seemed that she was used to being alone and being rejected, so she preferred to stay away from people. But what she didn’t know was that her life would get better.
In addition to this behavior, the place where Charlotte chose to sleep also attracted attention, although the pit bull preferred to sleep on a desk, despite gaining a warm and comfortable bed just for her.
After much speculation and observation, one of the shelter volunteers named Alissa Jackson concluded that this was Charlotte’s way of making herself aware of what is happening and also visualizing everyone arriving at the shelter as she doesn’t hear the people den enter place.
It didn’t take Charlotte long to find a home, she was adopted shortly after a local newspaper made an announcement about the animals being available for adoption. The pit bull caught the attention of Laurie Hall, a resident who also has hearing problems, so everyone knew they would make the perfect couple.
“She’s the best, most adorable, calmest and smartest dog I’ve ever had. It was our destiny to become a family,” Charlotte’s new guardian told The Dodo.
Now the dog and owner spend their days walking and cuddling at home. Best of all, Charlotte no longer has to sit at tables because she knows her loving mother is always there.
One complements the other and they understand each other and coexist well with the particularity that they have.
