Blind, deaf Aussie pup has new home - Orange County Register
The biggest challenge Katie McDaniel faces with her recent adoption of a blind and deaf Aussie pup named Ranger is to remember that he is blind and deaf.
"If he doesn't have his transmitter on, I have to go and get him," she said. "I'm always talking to him because he seems so normal."
McDaniel, an artist and her husband, Bob McDaniel, a chemistry teacher at St. Margaret's Episcopal School, didn't think they'd have a "ghost of chance" in adopting him after reading about the rescue of "Cooper" by the Lake Forest-based Lifeline Animal Rescue in the Register in April. When they found out he was going to be on view at the Pet Expo in Costa Mesa with his trainer Tim Welch, they instantly dropped all other plans and bee lined it to the show.
"He was a sweet little white ball of fur and all tongue," Katie McDaniel said.
