Sponsor Percy: Peaceful Percy takes it all in his stride

Say hello to Percy! This handsome chap is so chilled out. He’s the perfect house guest: gentle, calm and affectionate. He loves meeting people and is always up for cuddles! Toys and treats are great fun too. “If you throw a ball, he bounds to it and pounces on it,” laughs his volunteer brood holder, Sally.

You’ll love how this wise old soul moves into full-on puppy mode when his favourite toys appear. Whether it’s his best tuggy toy, or a ball to be pounced upon, it’ll bring out Percy’s bouncy, bounding, playful side.

Percy’s busy getting used to lots of different household sounds: hoover, dishwasher, washing machine. And he’s learning to feel comfortable in his harness and to walk nicely on a loose lead when he’s out and about. On his village walks with Sally, he loves to sit and watch the horses in the fields near her house.

That sounds like the perfect mix of qualities for a great hearing dog. Calm, friendly and unfazed by new things. Could you help Percy take his next steps to becoming a life-changing partner for a deaf person? You can help him keep taking it all in his soon-to-grow stride.

What new things will Percy discover next? What will he learn in puppy class? Sponsor Percy today to find out!

When my wife passed away in 2007, I became isolated and depressed. I was also very worried about not hearing the smoke or fire alarm. I often set the portable timer to remind me about appointments and cooking. Arya tells me about them by nudging me with her nose. She once woke me up when the fire alarm went off! Arya has opened up a whole new world to me.

 Neville learns to stay cool

As well as walking calmly on a loose lead, Percy’s already learning some other basic but essential cues and skills. He has already learnt ‘bed’, and will trot there happily when asked. He’s learning to sit and wait patiently before he gets the signal to start his breakfast. And he’s been practising his recall, first in Sally’s garden and now further afield. Good boy, Percy!
