Woman Finds Pit Bull Lying by Utility Pole, Discovers He is Deaf

A woman in Atlanta was on her way to the store with her partner when she saw a white dog lying by a telephone pole. “He was super still, Schnellss noted. She immediately told her partner to turn around because she wanted to see what the situation was. As she approached the dog she was worried he wasn’t alive because he was so still.

He didn’t respond as she spoke to him and she wanted to be careful. She tapped the ground to try and get his attention but she didn’t realize at the time that the pittie was deaf. But when he woke up he immediately wagged his tail and approached her. He was really thin and sunburned and was super friendly. Schnellss was able to put him in the car and he immediately stretched out in the car and acted like a goof. She knew he felt safe with her.

Shortly after bringing him to the vet and getting him checked for a microchip (he didn’t have one), Schnellss shared video and pictures of Wally on social media just in case someone was missing him. No one was, but the video did result in finding him an adoptive family!

Three weeks after Schnellss had rescued Wally, Wally was settling in with his new family. Schnellss says she gets to dog-sit him sometimes and he’s doing great. And it’s all thanks to her taking the time to stop and see if he was all right.
