YatharthSmart Buddy
Karl was now able to understand what his trainer wanted to convey and he could easily differentiate and immediately respond to it. The dog was simply one of his kind. He was as smart as it gets but no one is a born perfectionist. Practice makes a man perfect or here a dog for this matter. He had to fail multiple times before reaching to perfection. But the good thing was he never gave up irrespective of the different obstacles that came his way.
A Barrier
It was obvious that Karl relied on signs instead of voice commands to receive the instructions given to him. However, the problems arose in situations when Karl had to interact with the children. The little ones didn’t know the hand signs used to control Karl and convey their words to him. Everything else was good but this barrier to communication that stood between children and Karl was something that needed to be addressed. Incredibly, Karl’s trainer had found a way to overcome this problem.
The Rise Of Karl
Karl’s trainer combined a series of easy-to-use and learn hand signals that would make it much easier for the kids to communicate with the deaf dog. And that’s what happened as the kids easily picked up this method and they were now able to get through Karl. No one else except the kids and Karl himself could understand the unique language in the courtroom. As a result, Karl became an essential element in such cases and brought relief to as many kids who were involved in the trial.
A Long Process
The problem with using sign language is that most kids do not know it, as a matter of fact, most adults don’t have a clue about it either. So it was obvious that the children needed to learn the language beforehand to interact with Karl. It struck as a genuine issue as the kids were already going through a lot of trouble and it wouldn’t be nice to ask them to bother themselves in learning something they didn’t have a clue about. But “where there is a will, there’s a way.” And the trainers had found an interesting way to make things much better.
Secret Code
A kid won’t say no to playing unless he is thinking of other game to play. What I mean to say is that they love playing all the time and they wouldn’t mind giving absolutely anything a shot if you tell them it’s a game. That right there is a new way to teach them Math. Karl’s disability also allowed the kids to communicate with him in a way that any other adults in the courtroom would find it hard to understand unless they happen to know the sign language which I bet most of the people don’t know. So, what went down between Karl and the children was their secret and this fact would prove to be helpful in the case of this little girl.
Anxiety Kicked In
Perhaps it was too much for a girl of her age to handle as she started to beat out loud the moment she stepped into the stand. She had never experienced anything as such before and she was scared to her bones. But fortunately enough she had someone by her side who would help the girl calm her nerves down. Karl was there in her sight during the whole trial and he would soon do something that would ease things up for this little girl.
