Jean says “I got Jumble a year ago after losing my best friend Sheena. She had been with me for 15 years. It broke my heart when she died and I wasn’t sure about whether to get another dog, but I’m so glad I did. I would be lost without Jumble.”
Jean says “A few months ago Jumble saved my life when my grill caught fire and the fire alarm went off. I did not hear it and Jumble touched me with his paw and I knew something was wrong. I got a terrible fright, but he saved my life. The whole place would have burnt down without him, and if it wasn’t for him we wouldn’t be here today.”
Jean became deaf when she contracted measles when she was just five years old. She says that Jumble also helps her in other ways. As well as being her eyes and ears when the doorbell sounds or when the telephone rings, he wakes her up in the morning and even helps her balance when she’s outside.
