PUPILS at St Lawrence’s CE primary school in York had a visit from Hearing Dog puppy Quinn.

Quinn was brought in by Moira and Peter Adeney who are volunteer socialisers who look after puppies in their first year of life teaching them basic commands such as sit, down, stay and come, as well as taking them to lots of environments where they may work with their deaf person in the future.

Class teacher, Helen Gray, said: “The pupils learnt some of Quinn’s simple commands and some of the ways Hearing Dogs help make a difference to people’s lives, such as showing them when the oven makes a sound or the door bell rings.

"It was a great afternoon for all of us and the children learnt a lot.”
