Meet Aster, the first hearing dog trained exclusively in Scotland
Squee hereWho's a good service dog? Aster is! She's a puppy being trained to assist the hearing-impaired.
From the article:
Having previously matched 85 dogs trained in England with profoundly deaf recipients north of the border, the charity now plans to carry out the full training and partnering programme in Scotland for the first time.
Edinburgh will be the first area where puppies will not only be socialised but will also do all their hearing dog training with volunteers in the home.
Twelve-week-old cocker spaniel Aster is the pioneer of this new programme.
