Ralph is clever with a cheeky streak

Welcome to your Ralph Puppy Pen - and thank you so much for sponsoring Ralph!

Ralph is an adorable cocker spaniel with a heart as big as his floppy ears! He has a striking coat pattern and a tail with a white tip, which has a mind of its own.

His volunteer puppy trainer Samantha says, “He might look moody with his soulful eyes and long floppy ears, but his tail tells a different story – we could power the house off it!”

It gets cuter. Not only has he made friends with Samantha’s cats, but he also likes to groom one of them! And he seems to prefer sleeping anywhere other than his own bed.

He enjoys snoozing in the laundry basket or the cats’ beds – good thing they’re close pals!

Want some more cheeky tales? Ralph loves cooling off in the paddling pool, and Samantha has spotted him trying to take himself off there through the cat flap.

Well, we said he was cheeky! And Ralph loves playtime too. He’s always up for a game of fetch and even tried to run off with a frisbee in his mouth once.

He soon discovered it was far too big to carry and tripped over it. Whoops – but don’t worry, he was ok! Let’s just say there’s never a dull moment when Ralph’s around.

We're really looking forward to showing you how Ralph progresses through his training. He's a cute, cheeky puppy today, but one day he'll become an amazing hearing dog, and he'll totally transform a deaf person's life.

So, until your next Puppy Pen update, once again, thank you so much for sponsoring Ralph!
