Canine Brothers

My daughter is profoundly deaf and recently met another deaf girl during a visit to a deaf club event who she became good friends with virtually straight away. A few months prior to meeting her new friend, our family dog died aged 13 years from cancer. One day she was chatting with her friend via a social network and the friend showed her a picture of her dog who had died a couple of years previous. Her dog was the same breed as ours (black labrador) and looked spookily like our old dog. Her friend told her that her dog had died of cancer as well. My daughter explained that he looked just like her dog and asked where she had got him from. The friend told her and my daughter then asked me where we had bought our dog from, when I told her, she explained that her friend had bought her dog from the same place and it transpired that she had had our dog's brother - they were from the same litter. I thought it was amazing that my daughter had met a new deaf friend who had the same outlook as her, only to find that she had our dog's brother as family pet!
