I had an aunt who was deaf from birth. When she was in her 70’s, hearing dogs came on the scene, and we got one for her—an adorable little sheltie. The dog alerted her to such things as the telephone ringing, the doorbell, the fire alarms, or when anyone came too close to her house. Because of “Shookie” as he was named, my aunt was able to live alone and we all felt comfortable with that.

When she was out somewhere with the dog, it wore an orange vest and had an orange collar and leash, which designated him as a “working” dog.

She was allowed in just about everywhere with that dog-—and this was at least 15 or 20 years ago.
