Karlie Waldrip

Hi y'all! This is Karlie Waldrip, I am the author of "I Deaf-initely Can, Rhett the Heeler." I was born deaf and raised in Texas! I have a wide range of experience as a deaf person. I grew up wearing hearing aids and then later decided to get cochlear implants as a tool to allow me to hear more sounds around me. I grew up learning how to talk and sign. I taught as a Deaf Education teacher for 4 years! I adopted Rhett from a small town shelter in Texas and fought to give him a voice to educate others about deaf dogs! Writing this book has been a dream to continue to reach out to others and educate how our deafness will not limit us. If you would like a hardback book instead of a paperback, head over to our website and you will receive a special paw-autograph from Rhett the Heeler.
