A child and his dog, both deaf, understand each other through sign language | Chronic

Nick Abbott, a deaf young man who resides with his mother in the state of Maine, United States, has adopted Emerson a little pup of 12 weeks of life, in the refuge "Rescue of North Florida".

Nick was born deaf, which is why he developed a sign language and honed his other senses. The young man saw the announcement of the adoption on Facebook and did not hesitate a second.

"I said, 'Oh, he's also deaf, maybe I can go see him to see what he's up to."said Abbott. A few days later, the two met.

Emerson and his brothers were welcomed by the "Rescue of North Florida", pet shelter, Maine. Eight weeks after birth, the disabled puppy had seizures. He could not eat or drink, and he also developed a very powerful virus.

The dog managed to get ahead, but because of his health problems, he had to see how all the other puppies around him had been adopted and not. Until Nick comes to life.

When the boy and his mother came into the house to meet the little dog, he went straight to Nick's and sat at his feet. "It's all it takes.They convinced me that it was fate and that we both belonged to each other", the boy told.

"So you can say that he chose me, and I knew at that time that we would get along very well and we would be very well understood."He continued.

Habbot started teaching Emerson Sign Language to communicate with each other.

The dog already knows how to sit, that is the letter S in sign language. He also learned the term "lengthen" during a TV interview and the adorable puppy was lying obediently.

"The link we have is amazing," he added. "We understand each other very well, I would like to think that it was destined to come in. It's special," he said. said the young man gratefully.
