Author: Locke & Harmer
The poignant story of a deaf child growing up in a silent and isolated world, and of her courage and determination forging a life for herself amid prejudice and lack of understanding. It's also the story of Hearing Dogs and their long and rigorous training, and especially of Connie, a black collie mix, chosen to be Jenny's devoted companion and friend. Thanks to Connie, Jenny is no longer the shy, withdrawn person she was for much of her life. Totally independent and confident in the hearing world, the fun-loving, energetic person she really is has been able to blossom. Illustrated with a wealth of photos, Hearing Dogs will capture the hearts of all who are moved by the enduring bond that can develop between dog and human.
