Hearing Dog: The Story of Jennie and Connie

'Will capture the hearts of all who are moved by the unique and enduring bond that can develop between dag and human.' - READING PANEL This is the poignant story of Jenny Harmer, a deaf child growing up in a silent and isolated world, and of her courage and determination in forging a life for herself amid prejudice and lack of understanding. It is also the story of Hearing Dogs and their long and rigorous training, and especially of Connie, the friendly black collie chosen to be Jenny's devoted companion. Thanks to Connie, Jenny is no longer shy and withdrawn. Now totally independent and confident, the fun-loving, energetic person she really is has been able to blossom.
