Nick Abbot, a 31-year-old deaf man. Several weeks back, Highlighted an AMAZING puppy named Emerson who ove.r.c.ame a se.ri.ous illn.ess as an a.ban.do.ned newborn, which left him d.e_af.

Emerson was the only one yet to be adopted of his litter — until Nick Abbot showed up in his cape.

When Nick arrived at the shelter, 12-week-old Emerson made a beeline for the Mainer and clung to him for the entire visit. And it was soulmate-ship at first sight. Nick said: Knew right then and there that he and Emerson [would get along and understand each other pretty good].

At home, Nick started teaching Emerson sign language — He already understands the signs for SIT and LIE DOWN

Nick said: The bond that we have is awesome. He gushed about them understanding each other very well and praised Emerson for being special. We just had a really tough time finding him the PERFECT home.

Nick reached out with interest in Emerson because he too is de.af! That’s all it took.
