Florida Dog Guides FTD Inc. goes to Saint Leo College
After 2
years of training, " ELLIE the Corgi " has her backpack ready to attend
her first year of college. "ELLIE" has been trained to be the
"ears" of her owner Timothy and will be by his side during his busy
class schedule.
Why? You
ask, because Timmy is Deaf. "ELLIE" has been trained to assist
him when the bell rings in class changes, "Ellie" notifies him when
someone calls his name or needs his attention.
Because
Timmy lives off campus, "Ellie" alerts him to the alarm clock, door
knock, text message phone,and security alarm system. Most important of all
"Ellie" the Corgi alerts Timmy to the fire alarm signal both at home
and college.
Not only has
Florida Dog Guides F.T.D. Inc given the "Gift of Sound" to this young
college student, but has also the gift of independence. The Lions of Florida
have help make this possible. Keep up the good Work!
