My hearing ear dog’s name is Chanty. Her ability to transition from sleeping to running in response to a sound is amazing!

I need her help mostly at night when I am not wearing my hearing devices.

Hearing ear dogs are typically high energy due to their need to respond swiftly to brief sounds. After alerting me to a sound, Chanty leads me to its source so that I can identify it. Six years ago, during training at the Lions Foundation, we started with alarm clocks. I got teary when I saw how reliable she was. I have complete trust in her.
