This is what Woody looked like when I first got him. He was only 6 weeks old. He was born deaf. It is a genetic defect seen sometimes in white dogs or cats. Raising a deaf dog takes a lot of time and ingenuity. They have special needs and special problems. |

This is what Woody looks like today. Woody is a Bull Terrier. Other famous Bull Terriers include "William the Conqueror" owned by General George Patton and "Spuds McKenzie the Original Party Animal" (former Bud Light spokes model). According to the previews, there is a bull terrier in the new "Babe" movie. Woody is a great dog. He understands hand signals. He loves people and other animals. He graduated at the top of his obedience class even though he was the only deaf dog in the class. He has been given awards for his assistance in the "Reading Aloud" program for elementary schools in West Virginia. He travels with me at times and has appeared on TV shows at times. He has won prizes at fun pet shows for celebrity look alike (Spuds) and best trick (he loves to chase a red laser light). |
