A Vest for Frijole, Our Hearing Assistance Dog

The 28th of March found my husband Tom and I traveling to Denver to pick up our little dog Frijole. He has been at the American Canine Academy, receiving training not only in basic commands such as, 'sit,' 'stay,' and, 'heel,' but also to alert Tom to specific sounds in order to help him as a hearing assistant dog. Frijole alerts to sounds such as the dryer buzzer, the smoke alarm, or the door bell; sounds Tom misses most of the time.
