A deaf man has adopted an unwanted deaf puppy and the two have forged the best of friendships after finding support in each other.
Nick Abbott’s life has changed forever after he saw a touching ad about a deaf puppy on Facebook. While the young man wasn’t looking for a dog at that time, he couldn’t resist Emerson the dog who shared the same disability as him.
As Nick found out, Emerson was dropped at a Florida shelter when he was only 6 weeks old. After battling canine parvovirus, the pooch has lost his hearing and became unadoptable.
Fortunately, the pup’s life, and the lives of his siblings, were saved by NFR Maine, a foster-like rescue dedicated to saving dogs from high-kill shelters.
As Emerson recovered from his health issues, all of his siblings already got adopted. For the disabled pooch, however, finding a new owner wasn’t an easy job until Nick walked into his life.
After spotting a Facebook ad about Emerson, Nick decided to pay the shelter a visit and the pair matched immediately. In just 24 hours, Emerson was officially adopted – a decision that Nick will never regret.
As it appears, Nick and Emerson have become the best of friends whereas the proud owner often shares pictures of his pooch and their adventures on Instagram.
The pair has also come up with their own children’s book.
“Nick and Emerson have their own children’s book, you can check it out on Amazon! A portion of each book goes to charity,” they wrote in their Instagram post as they announced their work.
