Deaf Cattle Dog Navy’s story shared through music and art in Story of a Lonely Dog - Episode 3

After 1,362 days in care, Navy — a deaf blue Cattle Dog — finally has his story shared with the world. Navy is the proud star of Episode 3 of Story of a Lonely Dog, a unique musical series created by Day of the Dog, the brainchild of Melbourne-based artist and internationally acclaimed songwriter, Vanessa.

Story of a Lonely Dog is an educational initiative that brings the true stories of rescue dogs to life through original songs and artwork. After losing her beloved soulmate Finch, Vanessa launched the series to better the lives of rescue dogs across Australia and educate the community one story at a time.

Each episode features the journey of a real rescue dog, told through heartfelt music and stunning visuals. Navy’s episode also features beautiful artwork by @mvanguardart.

About Navy

Navy came into the care of Hear No Evil – Australian Deaf Dog Rescue at just six months old, surrendered by his owner after already being moved through several homes.

As a deaf dog, Navy faced significant challenges: limited adoption interest, communication barriers, behavioural issues stemming from misunderstanding and poor treatment during his crucial early development, and the struggle against widespread misconceptions about deaf dogs.

Despite these hurdles, Navy’s playful spirit, love for adventure, and loyal heart have never wavered. Thanks to the unwavering dedication of his foster carer, who has patiently guided him every step of the way, Navy has blossomed into a clever, loving companion.

He is proof that deaf dogs are just as capable of living full, joyful lives with the right support and understanding.

About Hear No Evil – Australian Deaf Dog Rescue

Founded in 2014, Hear No Evil is Australia’s first and leading rescue dedicated specifically to deaf and special needs dogs.

A New Way to Tell An Old Story

Not every dog’s story fits neatly into an adoption profile — and Navy is one of those dogs.

Story of a Lonely Dog gave us a rare and powerful way to share who Navy is. Through music and art, his journey becomes more than words on a page — it becomes something felt. It reaches hearts that might never have seen him otherwise. This series has allowed us to tell Navy’s story not just as a rescue, but as a life worth knowing, loving, and remembering.
