Angelyne The Amazing Deaf Cattle Dog
Angelyne was born completely deaf. She is an outstanding exception to what usually happens with deaf dogs. Most deaf dogs are abused, misunderstood, neglected, abandoned and left in shelters or euthanized. Eric took her in and gave her a meaningful life with a different purpose. Her normal job would have been as a cattle herding dog but Eric taught her over 40 different hand signals and non-verbal commands including obedience and tricks. Eric created a unique set of hand commands unlike American Sign Language with amazing results. Angelyne is very focused, intelligent and loves to entertain. Since 2007 Eric and Angelyne have been very busy speaking and performing at schools, churches, special events, fairs, carnivals, festivals, pet expos, for at-risk youth, centers for the disabled, senior care centers and much more.
