Happy Harvey heaven

Posted by Brendan Cooper

It's time for more Harvey!

Sometimes, with these Pupdates, we like to bring them together into a theme - dogs in snow, dogs sleeping, dogs running, that sort of thing. However, at other times, we just have so many fab photos that we just want to show you them! No real theme, just an assortment of lovely shots that we hope you like as much as we do.

Here's one of our favourites: Harvey in his drying bag.

All our dogs have a fab life. They love training because, for them, it's all a game. They get treats when they do the 'right' thing, whether it's walking nicely on their lead, coming back when called, alerting people to important sounds, and so on. So, that's 'work' for a hearing dog. 'Play' is pretty much the same thing, except it often involves running around lots, and getting very wet and often muddy too.

So, as you can see above, Harvey likes getting wet. He's certainly got plenty of fur to get wet! This is why a drying bag is a handy item to have around. It suits him!

And if there's one thing better than a nice, warm drying bag...

As per the headline: happy Harvey heaven!

As well as drying bags, toys are another useful dog-related accessory.

All our dogs become attached to one particular toy. Whether it's a panda bear (a furry toy, not a real one), a frog (ditto), or a randomly shaped 'thing', they just love carrying them around everywhere. Harvey seems to have become especially fond of Big Pink Rabbit.

Here's another 'one-two' shot like the drying bag photos. Did you know that Harvey can do a Cyclops impersonation?

And now, with two eyes again!

Harvey is definitely one of those puppies with such luxurious, thick fur that it's often difficult to make out their eyes. He seems especially talented in this regard however, being able to hide one or the other at will. 

Here he is with both his eyes, staring cotentedly into space... aaaaahhhh...

But Harvey's definitely a dog of action too. Guess what he's saying below?

That's right: "Dinner time!" The tail agrees.

There's plenty more Harvey coming your way in future Pupdates, both here in the Puppy Pen, and printed training updates. Together, they'll show how well he's doing in his 'work', and how happy he is overall as a sponsored hearing dog.

We can't wait to share his next training adventures with you. Until then, thank you so much for sponsoring Harvey!

Hi, I'm Brendan. I write all your sponsor pup updates, printed and online. It's a hard life, writing about cute puppies who, with your support, will grow up to help deaf people leave loneliness behind. I am partially deaf myself, so I have some insights into the challenges deafness can bring. However, I don't have a dog of my own: I have two Maine Coon cats who are quite dog-like and take up most of my time!
