Deaf Dog Learns Sign Language
May 2002
Staff at an animal adoption centre in Hertfordshire are teaching a deaf Jack Russell terrier to respond to sign language in a bid to find him a new home.

Buster, a profoundly deaf Jack Russell Terrier cross, is only two years old but has already had at least four different owners in his short life. Now staff at the Blue Cross animal adoption centre in Kimpton Bottom are teaching him to communicate, something he needs to be able to do if he's to be successfully re homed.

Tillie, the canine creator
of a
number of
impressive paintings
OK, this one is a bit silly, but it just shows one of the many ways that JRTs bountiful energy can be harnessed.
My only reservation here is that I would hope that the paint does not have any toxic affects.


(CBS) Sunday Morning correspondent Bill Geist
visited with Tillie, the canine creator of a number of impressive paintings

Tillie has sold more than 100 of her paintings — fetching up to $2,200 each.

Some of her works have been purchased by Steve Weinstein, a Tillie collector, who already has one of her works at home.

"We've expanded our collection!" he said clinking champagne glasses with his wife, Anne, at the exhibit opening. "A lot of strength and passion with a single paw print.

"I've been drawn to Tillie's work by its aesthetic qualities," he said, "which I actually find to be kinetic and dynamic and very interesting, and sort of by the excitement of the whole process, and the questions that partnership with Tillie raises about the nature of art making, in some respects, the nature of cognition. And, heck, it's just fun. It's a painting by a dog."

Surfer Dog Hangs 10

Californian surfers have a little competition on their hands – of the four-legged variety. Hattie Kauffman reports on the amazing Buddy, a surfing dog, and the upcoming surf dog competition.

(CBS) "Buddy" is a Jack Russell terrier with a special talent many humans would envy.
He surfs.
Just like a person.
He's been hanging 10 for six years in the waters off Ventura, Calif.
Buddy's been making such a splash, he even has an agent!
Hattie Kauffman watched him ride the curl.
