Pet dog 'transformed life of deaf child' | Dog News
A deaf boy has revealed the changes in his life that have occurred thanks to his pet dog and how much happier he is because of it.
Jason Warman told the Sun black Labrador Violet has become his best friend and made the difference between a sad and lonely life and a happy one.
His mother described how the boy had become much more outgoing since getting the pooch.
"I can't believe how much Violet has changed all our lives," she said.
Michelle Warman told how she now receives messages saying "I love you" from her son via Violet, who takes messages back and forth in the house.
In addition to facilitating communication in the home, the pooch keeps Jason out of danger and has been trained to relay mum's orders.
One of eight children in the UK to have their own hearing dog, the Warman family was given Violet by the charity Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.
The organisation has existed since 1982 and has placed more than 1,500 canines in houses throughout Britain and the Channel Islands.
Animal Friends are a specialist pet insurance company providing dog insurance and cat insurance to British pet owners since 1999 and we now offer horse insurance too.
