anastasia: Last dog I had used to tell me when the phone rang, when someone was at the back door and when someone was at the front. If the postman had a parcel for me she used to come in the bedroom and nudge me to get up and the postman would wait untill I got to the door. You don,t hear of many postmen and dogs working together as a team lol!
All this was without any training, somehow she just knew I was deaf.
She also used to bring the mail in too but I had to put a stop to that as she was putting her teeth through bills and I would,nt have liked her to do that to a cheque lol!
When she went blind and deaf herself it made a big difference to my life as I could no longer hear who was at the door or when anyone rang so I had to have equipment installed to overcome this.
She sure looked after me and kept the house free of univited guests.
