True Friendship: Watch How a Dog Fetches His Deaf Canine Friend

This could be the heartwarming video of the week.

Benson, a deaf black lab, can’t hear a whistle when his owner all him inside from the yard. His pal Buffy, however, can. So what does Buffy do? Buffy gently grabs Benson by the collar in order to show him when it’s time to go in.

Watch how Buffy is trained to do it here:

We don’t know much about the duo, just what we’ve seen from the video and read on its YouTube description. If you do, let us know.

    there is no other amimal on earth that can do what the god ol’ dog can do to love his master without bounds, do anything for you and just make you feel good all overl. This is an animal with a soul. Period. It loves, needs love, feels sorrow, feels empathy, feels joy and last but not least it feels loss when someone it loves dies. They grieve and move on with time. They expect ut to be there in their time of need too. I will bee there for all of my anmmals final needs, from the cat to the horse. Family is family.

    Wow . . Buffy was a great dog I guess. I love dogs but sad to say we dont have any at home it is because when I was a child our pet dog bite the leg of my little brother. And by that time my parents decided not to have one anymore. Having one is I think awesome for I have a dog friend that is owned by a friend of mind. . Gee . . and you know what? she I mean the dog plays with me and follows me unto the bus station never lives me not until I was able to ride a jeep. And that feels great for me. . I was not expecting that there is a kind of dog like that , . . lol now I really do believed that dog is a mans bestfriend.

    I love this. I have a deaf Australian Cattle Dog. Her name is Helen. My better half has one too. If you know anything about the breed they are highly jealous and demanding dogs. Sheba would never go fetch Helen, she hates her. We laugh all the time about it. Helen was a stray that I found. These dogs are great if you have the patience to deal with their unusual personalities. Helen knows hand signals and is smart in spite of her disabilty. She picks up vibrations and is the first one at the door when we have company. Love my Heeler! And Sheba too!

    Considering my own dog comes to get me every time my cell phone, door bell or other unusual sound occurs, I can see how dogs are easily acclimated to be man’s best friend. That’s why we love them so much.

      The Clinton‘s used their dog and cat to suck in voters and the AHHHH isn’t that cute factor and to sell books about them.

      BUT, both Hilllary, Bill and Chelsea DUMPED their two pets when they the left the White House.

      Buddy the dog was given away to a home that had no fence around its yard and Buddy died by getting hit by a car.

      Socks the cat is living with Bill Clinton’s secretary.

      It is QUITE OBVIOUS NONE of the Clinton‘s were really animal lovers and neither are the Obama’s.

    Holder needs to grab Obummer’s collar on the way out too, since Obummer is tone deaf.

      The problem is they are both blind too. A blind leading a blind and deaf.

    Very cool thing to have taught this dog! Labs are retrievers; they go get and bring back things. It’s a natural behavior used in a very practical way here.

    People need to stop holding their phones vertically when shooting video.

    My cat used to do that when she was a kitten, I‘d sit on the couch and thown a small stuffed mouse into an adjoining room and she’d run after it, attack it for a few moments and then bring it back, unfortunately she grew out of it. She’s 14 now and still going strong.
