Deaf puppy wants to play and doesn't make any friends - but then the tide turns. James Coburn actually never wanted a dog.

He was worried that with a four-legged friend he would be mostly housebound and would no longer be able to decide freely and flexibly about his time. His opinion changed when he came across the photo of Poundcake. An extremely cute young dog around eight months old who was sitting in an animal shelter in Rhode Island. But Poundcake had a small drawback: he was born deaf.
