A visit from Erin, a Hearing Dog for the Deaf.

Today we had a visit from Mark, Kim and Erin, who is their 'Hearing Dog for the Deaf'.

She is a black 'cockapoo', which is half Poodle and half Spaniel.  She is four years old.
She felt very soft and all the children got to stroke her.

To help Mark and Kim, Erin wakes them up in the morning and tells them when the doorbell or phone rings. She barks and puts up her paw.

Erin is also allowed into shops and other places to help Mark and Kim.

A big thanks to Connor's mum, Kerry, for organising this visit.

The children were amazed at how clever she is and that, although she is a working dog, she is also Mark's best friend!
