Sue Davis lives in England with her black cocker spaniel, Arlo. Sue, 67, is deaf, and Arlo serves as her hearing dog. Recently, Sue took a pretty nasty spill on some black ice, and Arlo acted just like a hero would. Sue told the BBC that the day she fell, Arlo lay across her legs and barked for help. “He’s my comfort blanket. I know I’m safe with him,” Sue said. “If it hadn’t been for Arlo, I don’t know what I’d have done; there was no one else around, so I would’ve had to crawl to get help.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hearing Dogs for Deaf People (@hearingdogs) When Sue Fell, Her Hero Dog Knew Just What to Do “I went down with a bang. I felt dizzy and light-headed. And I couldn’t get up. I just started crying. He knew something was wrong,” Sue shared. Per the BBC, Sue lost her hearing in her 40s. In 2021, she worked with Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, who paired her with sweet Arlo. “Having Arlo is the best thing that’s ever happened to me, he loves me unconditionally, and I love him unconditionally,” Sue said. “I couldn’t ask for a better friend.” Sue and Arlo are in good company with Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. The organization shared photos from a recent visit to Windsor Castle. “Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal joined Hearing Dogs volunteers, trustees and senior leaders at a special reception to recognise the extraordinary contribution of our volunteers,” the organization shared.“The event, held in the grounds of Windsor Castle, highlighted the essential role of volunteers in training life-changing hearing dogs; caring for the mums of hearing dog litters; delivering our emotional and practical support services, Hearing Link Services; running community activities and championing awareness of hearing loss.” Arlo is just one of many heroes trained by Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. What an incredible service for those in need. You can find this story’s featured image here.
