Episode 9:
Alfie is a sound support dog!
Posted by Elizabeth Murphy
“Now, Alfie is supporting me in more ways than I thought possible. He’s my absolute joy, my four pawed angel and my ‘lovable rogue’! With Alfie as my ears, I feel safer, less isolated and anxious. He has opened up a whole new world.
“At home, I’m no longer on constant alert trying to listen for sounds. I have 110% confidence in Alfie. He alerts me to people at the door and has already alerted me to the smoke alarm. I no longer have to solely rely on my hearing aids.
“With Alfie by my side, I feel we can conquer anything. His confidence gives me confidence and I’m exploring new places which are out of my comfort zone. What I love most is his absolute zest for life. Alfie starts his day with a bounce in his step and it’s infectious. And if I get excited about something, he joins in!
“To Alfie’s sponsors, I cannot put into words how grateful I am – thank you. He has improved my life in every aspect. You helped to bring sound into a silent world.”
Well done our lovely Lab! Thanks to your amazing support, Alfie and Lucy make a top team who are taking on the world, side by side. It would be wonderful if you’d consider sponsoring another trainee puppy but, whatever you decide, thank you so much for being Alfie’s sponsor.
Hello, I’m Elizabeth and I work in the Sponsor a Puppy team. I am very lucky to get to know lots of the adorable pups who are training to be life-changing hearing dogs – they really are amazing!
