We are in the process of developing this site to make it as useful and interactive as possible. As such, whenever we can, we will add SUBSCRIPTION buttons on each page and make subscribing an option wherever you like or comment on our content.

Subscribing and sharing what we produce — here or on our many social media platforms — is a very important way to get DOGtor Yakoo’s message out about working with a DOUBLE MERLE dog and STOPPING the cruel breeding practices that cause DMs from being born.

THANK YOU! Woof woof

DOGtor Yakoo shares regular posts on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok. Until we have links available, search for @DogtorYakoo to find regular updates about Yakoo’s PAWtactile adventures.

You might also consider jumping over to GOFUNDYAKOO to make an offering of a small dollar amount to help us produce learning, teaching, and educational materials for other deafblind, deaf, or blind dogs and their caregivers.

I’m Erick Martinez — a storyteller, traveler, and musician who shares life alongside my two incredible dogs:

🐾 Yakoo, my DeafBlind soul companion, and

🐾 Nuka, his fearless deaf sister.

Together we explore the world, from beaches and cities to quiet moments at home, showing that love, trust, and creativity can break through any barrier.

🎶 Through our music, I give voice to their journey — songs that blend Latin roots, heartfelt stories, and Pawtactile language (a tactile way to communicate with Yakoo and Nuka).

🌍 Through our travels, we share what it really means to live, learn, and love with dogs who are “different” — reminding the world that different is beautiful.

💡 This channel is for those who dream, who feel, and who believe in second chances.

Join us on this adventure of music, paws, and stories that heal. Subscribe, share, and walk with us — because every step forward is a song of hope.
