My Rant for Today

Actually, since my area has many Spanish speakers, if you adopt a pet from a rescue you have a chance of adopting a Spanish speaker. Usually the rescue has figured it out, and one of the pet food stores has a list of English common commands (like sit, stay, etc.) and their common Spanish equivalents. Or you can just ask one of your neighbors.
That's an interesting coincidence. My step-daughter flew down to Spain 4 years ago to be a volunteer worker at the Swedish-run DogRescue animal shelter there. https://www.dogrescue.se/en/ She adopted a sort of cross-breed greyhound that had been abandoned and living on the street and brought it home. But there was no need to learn Spanish because the dog is deaf. Maybe that's the reason it was abandoned in the first place?

It was meant to be, what a good soul for adopting a pup who is hearing impaired. Does she sign with her dog? I can use certain hand signals with mine although he does have his hearing. There might be pointer in her pup.

Yes, she does "sign" so the dog understands what she wants. But I think all dogs pick up certain signals anyway, like getting the leash, for example.
