Walter is a 7-month-old doggy, and he is deaf. He was one of the "tenants" at the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA (International Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), but now he lives in a loving family.

Julia is a 10-year-old girl, and she is deaf, too. After her family took Walter to live with them, she started to teach him commands in sign language: "sit," "water" and "food" in particular.

Julia's mom, Chrissy, said: "When I first held Julia, since she couldn't really hear my voice, she would smell my neck. And when I first held Walter, he did almost the same exact thing."

"I remember looking at him and I knew he was meant to be ours," she added.

"Walter is my best friend," Julia says.
