Photodisintegration of the deuteron into two $\Delta$-isobars at large center 
of mass angles is studied within the  hard rescattering model (HRM). According 
to the HRM, the reaction proceeds in three main steps: the photon knocks the 
quark from one of the nucleons in the deuteron; the struck quark rescatters 
off a quark from the other nucleon sharing the high energy of the photon; then 
the energetic quarks recombine into two outgoing baryons emerging at large 
transverse momenta. Within the HRM, the cross section is expressed through the 
amplitude of $pn\rightarrow \Delta\Delta$ scattering which is evaluated based 
on the quark-interchange model of hard hadronic scattering. The resulting cross
 section of the deuteron breakup to $\Delta^{++}\Delta^{-}$ is noticeably 
larger than that of the breakup to the $ \Delta^{+}\Delta^{0}$ channel. Also, 
the angular distributions for these two channels are markedly different. These 
can be compared with the predictions based on the assumption that two hard 
$\Delta$-isobars are the result of the disintegration of initial $\Delta\Delta$
 components of the deuteron wave function. In such cases, the angular 
distributions and cross sections of the breakup in both 
$ \Delta^{++}\Delta^{-}$ and $\Delta^{+}\Delta^{0}$ channels are expected 
to be similar.
