Vesper is our soft, gentle little lady

Vesper is adorable.

She loves spending time with her toys, gently chewing them until she falls asleep in them. She also likes shoes. Don’t leave them on the floor, because she’ll grab one. She also loves running around the garden, like every puppy should.

She won’t notice your shoes though, if she’s distracted by food. When there's food around, she'll forget her toys, and your shoes, and the garden, because she's a little Labrador and very keen on a full food bowl.

Vesper’s favourite friend is her half-brother Flash. They play with each other all day, and then when it’s sleepy time, Vesper falls asleep in Flash’s warm, comfortable bed – or, if Flash made it there first, she falls asleep on Flash. It doesn’t matter, he’s warm and comfortable too…

So she has a mischievous side, and a fun side, but really Vesper is a soft, gentle little lady, ready for cuddles, snuggles and strokes.

In training, we have full-on puppies who go for it, and mischievous puppies who like to be a bit naughty, but Vesper stands out as the calm, sweet-natured girl who takes it all in.

There’s no fuss, no drama, it’s just a nice, gentle puppy class as far as Vesper’s concerned.

We think this means she’s going to do really well. There’s a deaf person out there somewhere who, one day, will snuggle up to Vesper and just know that she’s going to help them regain the confidence to be part of the world around them once again. 

From all of us at Hearing Dogs for Deaf People - thank you for sponsoring Vesper!
