A deaf dog with a “zest for life” is learning sign language at an RSPCA animal centre near Swansea.
The talented senior Staffie is a “wonderful example of just how resilient animals can be” and “proof that you can definitely teach an old dog new tricks”.
Eight-year-old Rocco is able to read hand signals and body language, and he understands basic commands like ‘sit’, ‘down’ and ‘stay’, despite being completely deaf.
