Petey is around 5 yrs old and although he is Deaf, it doesn’t slow him down. He is a huge bundle of love He loves car rides... he just sits and looks. He is so very gentle and loving. He is good with cats and other dogs. We have not tested with children. Please consider giving this sweet deaf boy a forever home. He is such a great dog ! He can hear certain tones. And we are working on the house training. But he seems to prefer laying around outdoors.
