Deaf sheepdog still working after she learns sign language

Peggy the eight-year-old Border Collie was given up by her previous owners after she lost her hearing and could no longer follow voice commands. She was taken in by the RSPCA’s Mid Norfolk and North Suffolk branch in 2018. Animal welfare manager Chloe Shorten, whose husband Jason is a shepherd, initially fostered Peggy as a stopgap, then ’completely fell in love with her’. The couple trained Peggy to follow hand signals, with Mrs Shorten describing her as living proof that you can ’teach an old dog new tricks’.
