MEDFORD, Ore. — An unruly dog whose owners donated it to Dogs for the Deaf turned out to have a good reason for not minding. Trainers trying to teach Sassy, the 1-year-old American Eskimo breed female, to help deaf people discovered that she couldn’t hear herself.
On Thursday, Sassy was fitted with her own donated hearing aids, and this weekend, she will return home with her former owner, 9-year-old Megan McKenzie of Klamath Falls, Ore.
