Deafness is an invisible disability and is often mistaken for rudeness or aloofness.

It was only when I became profoundly deaf myself

that I experienced the isolation and exclusion.

I am fortunate enough to be an artist and art therapist. I live in a hearing world and have become a lip-reader.

Discovering Hearing Dogs for Deaf People and being

given Piggle changed everything.

The dogs comes everywhere with me and his coat with its Hearing Dog logo, makes people aware of my

disability.

This book is intended for children big and small so they may have awareness and respect.

Hearing Dogs for Deaf People is a registered charity in the UK.It receives no government funding.
