Hearing Dogs

I know that most of you know what a Seeing Eye Dog is but have you ever thought about a Hearing Dog? Hearing Dogs are becoming increasingly popular. They are trained to do several things for their owners such as alerting them when their name is called, the phone rings, someone is at the door, their children are crying, a person is near, their alarm clock goes off, the fire alarm is blaring, and several other important messages. Hearing Dogs can greatly enhance a Deaf person's life and make them feel more secure in a hearing world.

Please watch on youtube the Sam Simon Foundation (part 1)
