Hearing Dogs For Deaf People!

Ok I obviously dont get out enough! I never knew this! I can only find a UK link, but i think its a wonderful idea to have a dog that can be your partner and be your ears! they are trained to alert their owners to alarms, car horns, traffic, doorbells, factory and work related sounds, every sound both work and home related to help you feel secure in your hearing difficulty!

WOW!!! I want one! :p haha no really I think its a great idea, heres the UK link to read about it,: http://www.hearingdogs.org.uk/ 

is this service available anywhere else in the world? I cant find any links for here in Ireland, but ill keep digging! :)
