The decision to bring a dog into your home is one of the happiest and most joyous moments you will ever experience. The amount of love you feel for your goofy four-legged friend is unlike anything you’ll ever experience (sit down, human parents).
But the owners of Peanut the French Bulldog were thrown a curveball right from the very beginning. After weeks of trying to get their dog to obey commands, they finally came to the realization that their newborn pup was completely deaf and have since had to adjust their way of life as puppy parents.

Peanut loves going for long walks with her owners, snoozing in her soft and comfy bed, and occasionally dressing up for special occasions — like Halloween.
