Arthur is an action hero
Posted by Brendan Cooper
Arthur is all action!
He doesn’t just look the part, with those amazing eyebrows and alert tail. He is the part!
According to his Volunteer Puppy Trainer Liz, he’s boisterous, inquisitive and adventurous. “He loves a towel to wrestle with. He likes diving through long grass. He wants to explore the garden. He enjoys playing with my other dog Shep.
“He finds Shep’s tail really fascinating. It’s a mystery to him – so furry and long! He’s often tempted to take a quick grab as it passes by but he’s learning to leave it alone now.
“He’s become attached to a sleeping bag. Not to sleep on it, you understand, but to nibble it. And jump on it. And dive into it.”
Is there anything that daunts him?
“The rain. At first. Now he’s decided he quite likes it and wants to get as soaked and muddy as possible.”
If you think Arthur is all go, then you might be relieved that he does have an ‘off’ switch. Back to Liz: “He likes watching cars go by. They’re always worth a little sit down to study them in greater detail.”
Phew! What a relief!
“He also gets on with Bella the rabbit. She kisses him through the mesh of her hutch.”
Ahhhh, that’s nice and relaxing, and very cute.
“But he’s obsessed with shoes and ankles.”
Oops, spoke too soon!
Arthur is a fantastic puppy, and we all adore him. We hope you do too! From all of us at Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, thank you for sponsoring him!
