Hearing Dogs for the Deaf volunteer, Janet, gave a very informative talk about the work of the charity and a good insight into the training for Hearing Dogs and their prospective owners. She introduced us to her gorgeous dog, Bilboa, who is not only excellent company for Janet but also 'nudges' her when she needs to be aware of a variety of noises or situations, and gives her confidence when she is out and about.
