Hank was very happy to be home last night and absolutely exhausted from all his adventures at the kennels. I think he will be a bit quiet for a day or two!!!

While I have been in Sydney Hank and Rue have been living their best lives at Kuranda Pet Resort. I did miss them but I was lucky enough to have spent the weekend with Herbie and his fabulous owner. Herbie is a Lions Assistant dog and is trained to alert his owner, who is Deaf, to different sounds and alarms etc. When he is not working though he loves nothing better than cuddles, playing and doing zoomies!!!! What an awesome pup he is and such important work he does! 💙🐾

Today I had the absolute pleasure of visiting the Deaf Festival in Sydney! 💙

What an incredible experience it was! I got to meet so many amazing people, including the wonderful team from Hear No Evil Deaf Dog Rescue and their beautiful volunteers — the very rescue group that I got Hank from. 🐾❤️

Of course, I bought a little bit too much merch from them… 😂 But hey, when you’re on holidays, why not?! And supporting the rescue that changed Hank’s life makes it even more worthwhile. 🥰

But one of the most special parts of today was having some amazing people beside me to support us. Having people who believe in what Hank and I are doing, cheer us on and share in these experiences with us means more than I can put into words. ❤️ It made today even more memorable.

It was such a fantastic day celebrating Deaf culture, Auslan, inclusion and community. I’m already very excited about the day I can bring Hank the Deaf Dog along with me! 🐶💙

One day, Hank… one day! 🥹🐾

Different, not less. 💙
