Libby: the little Spaniel with a big appetite

Posted by Brendan Cooper

Little Libby is a lively, cheeky and playful Cocker Spaniel with a very strong will!

When she was a really young puppy, this mischievous Spaniel’s favourite game was playing hide-and-seek with her brothers and sisters.

It didn’t matter what everyone else wanted to do – snooze, cuddle, eat, snooze some more… she just wouldn’t take ‘woof’ for an answer.

If Libby wanted to play hide-and-seek, that’s what everyone else had to do too.

Since leaving her puppy family, this headstrong little girl has replaced hide-and-seek with… food. She loves her food. She adores her food. She even loves her food bowl. When it’s empty she picks it up and carries it around making as much noise as she can with it, as if to say “Please may I have some more?”

It’s difficult to resist. Her lovely black and white markings make her eyes especially appealing.

Let your guard down for a second, and the next thing you know, you’ve somehow become a puppy yourself, and you’re playing hide-and-seek…

We want our puppies to think of training as playing. So, given that little Libby loves to play, she’s thoroughly enjoying training! She’s as bright as a button, doing so well with ‘sit’ and ‘wait’, and already growing in confidence among other people and animals. We have high hopes for her becoming an amazing hearing dog and helping a deaf person take part in life again. 

Thank you for sponsoring Libby!

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!
