Frankie: The fun and fluffy friend-maker

Welcome to your first Puppy Pen – and thank you so much for sponsoring Frankie! 

Frankie wants to be your friend! Whether you’re human, dog or even horse, this beautiful little boy has a nose ‘boop’ for everyone. 

With the biggest and fluffiest paws, he bounds up to potential pals and always wants to play. One day, his amazing friendship will change a deaf adult or child’s life. 

Alongside the confidence (and cheekiness!) that you might expect from a Cocker Spaniel, Frankie is a focussed boy when he needs to be. Behind his bright white eyelashes is a pup who is keen to learn about the world.  

When discovering something new, Frankie pauses to take in the experience…all while his tail wags like a windscreen wiper!  

It seems nothing fazes Frankie…except for snails! Sally, Frankie’s Volunteer Puppy Trainer, told us about his recent encounter: “He looked at it, then suddenly jumped backwards up in the air three times – he’d never come across a snail before!” Oh dear! Never mind Frankie, we’re sure you’ll soon be making mollusc friends, too!  

After an excitement-packed day, this cuddly puppy falls soundly asleep, listening to soothing music on his favourite podcast. We’re sure he’s dreaming of all the fun he’ll have with his future deaf partner. 

Will Frankie ever befriend the snails in his garden? Who else will fall for his puppy-dog eyes and long white lashes? And which deaf person will he grow up to support? Sponsor Frankie today to find out!  

Frankie’s next Puppy Pen episode will come out by the end of August. 

In the meantime, thank you again for sponsoring Frankie!
