I need to brag on my best boy

I need to brag on my best boy

Our basement flooded over the weekend and we’ve had contractors in and out, lots of chaos, etc. I honestly can’t put into words how incredibly good Jake has been. I’m not surprised, because I know what an amazing dog he is. However, because he is deaf and a Pitbull he is all too frequently the victim of incorrect and harmful assumptions and judgments. But, the contractors were in his house and got to experience him up close. So many compliments! “I can’t believe how calm and well-behaved that dog is!”, “Ok, seriously? That dog is so cool!”, “Wait, he understands sign language? Dude, check it out. This dog knows sign language!”, “He’s so chill. Come’ere good boy!”, and a funny one from this morning while I I was talking with the project manager, he suddenly paused to say, “Is he snoring? That’s the cutest thing I’ve ever heard. It kind of makes me want to stop and just take a nap with him”. Love him so much! (Jake, not the project manager :))

I adopted him a month after he turned 2. He was rescued as a stray, so we don’t know for certain when his birthday is. The first shelter (he was at a few) listed April 6, so we’ve gone with that. He’s just the sweetest, smartest, silliest boy and I love him so much!
