We had two Bostons-- Zuess and Apollo Got both as brothers as pups Apollo was the runt and deaf Zuess wasn't perfect-ally marked :was the last out of litter of 9. We ended up with BOTH couldn't decide. Hubby wanted bigger more out going as was going to be for kids I fell for the timid,tiny one Reminded me of my son (very SHY) so got both and they were always touching while sleeping so deaf one never missed out on when You called them and at nite always used porch light and never had to open your mouth just flip switch couple times!! Was so glad we kept them together!! Off topic but love the name "Signal"
