Adorable Dog Who Is Blind and Deaf Finds Love Again as She Slow Dances with Her Mom Daily
Pets are a blessing in the lives of their owners. They have so much love to give, but it’s sad when our lovely furry companions lose a vital part of their body.
The dog in today’s story goes by the name Beanie, and she has never experienced the kind of love that Julie Elrod gives her. The fearful dog had not received such tender love and care until Julie brought her home.
Both of them now share a strong bond through their dance. Yes, Elrod, who is now Beanie’s mom, has been dancing with the dog since they adopted her from Rescue Dogs Rock back in 2018.
Sadly, Beanie is a deaf and blind dog, and Elrod communicates with her through the sense of touch. Initially, Beanie didn't like being touched, but whenever they danced together, it strengthened their special bond.
When Elrod tried to pet Beanie before, Beanie would often run away and stay by herself, but now, "I do ‘slow dance therapy’ to hold her close and sway back and forth. Even though she can't hear me, I also sing to her."
After numerous years of dancing together, Beanie now looks forward to dancing around the house with her favorite human. And Elrod loves it too.

Elrod said Beanie now trusts her completely, as she relaxes comfortably and melts into her arms whenever they slow dance. "I do not care what appointments I have or who I am supposed to meet; I make time every single day to slow dance with my best friend and soulmate," Elrod says.
Beanie Has Never Had a Human Who Loves Her as Much as Julie Elrod.
Before Elrod came into the picture, Beanie's journey was a difficult one. However, through Elrod's hard work and persistence, the dog has come a long way.
Before Elrod, Beanie’s Journey Wasn’t an Easy One.
Elrod said that Beanie did not know how to show or receive love, and it was quite clear that she did not want to learn anything about love. Elrod added that "she had no idea about housebreaking. She did not like to eat, so even now, we have to hand-feed her."
She Shows Me That She Loves Me in Different Ways
The little Beanie has now been with Elrod for four years and still does not give kisses or wag her tail. Beanie is always in Elrod's arms pretty much 24 hours a day.
Wherever she goes, Beanie follows, and she shows Elrod she loves her in different ways.

The dog has now found a happy ending, but Julie says that it's Beanie who has changed her life for the better, as she wouldn’t trade being Beanie’s mom for anything.
"I love her so unconditionally and infinitely. Beanie is my soulmate dog, and I thank God for every second I have with her. No amount of time I have with her will ever be enough," she said.
