Meet Pearl, a one-year-old pup who has faced more challenges in life than most dogs. Born deaf and blind, Pearl refuses to let her disabilities hold her back from finding her beloved owner. Despite her limitations, Pearl’s determination and spirit continue to inspire those around her.
Meet Pearl – a furry little pup who resides with her owner Lauren and three other dogs. When Pearl was adopted in November 2016, she had trouble fitting in with her new family. To help out, Lauren reached out to a coach who taught the pup tricks using touch, since Pearl couldn’t see or hear anything. With proper training and Pearl’s sharp intellect, she now knows commands such as “sit”, “down”, “paw” and is currently learning to “crawl”. According to Lauren, Pearl is playful, fearless and incredibly intelligent.
Apart from the new skills she has acquired, Pearl is also grateful for being reunited with her owner. As soon as Lauren steps into the house, Pearl immediately recognizes her scent and eagerly sniffs it out, seeking her owner’s affection. When she finally discovers what she’s been looking for, Pearl’s face lights up with excitement and contentment.
The adorable pup leads a delightful existence with her human companion. Each day, she takes a stroll, frolics with her buddy Pete, and brings along her beloved toy Wormy on her jaunts. She navigates the terrain with utmost care before settling down in her mother’s loving arms as night falls and slumber beckons.
It’s never a walk in the park for a dog that is both deaf and blind. However, Pearl has managed to adapt and thrive thanks to the abundance of love from her owner and her own unwavering determination.
