Walker Cousineau called out to his mother the moment he saw a photo of a happy-faced white pit bull mix on Facebook.

“This dog is deaf. Just like me!” Mindy Cousineau recalled her 14-year-old son telling her.

Then he told her: “I need him — he’s my dog.”

The caption on his adoption photo read, “He’s a 9, but he can’t hear you snore at night.”
