As Mary Kenealy stood with her Hearing Dog for Deaf People under the departures board at Glasgow’s Central Station, two excited women whom she’d never met came running towards her.
Explaining that they were enthusiastic supporters of the charity named on the dog’s trademark burgundy jacket, the two sisters from Motherwell admired and stroked the glossy, black coat of Mary’s Cocker Spaniel, Jenson, and likened him to the Hearing Dog puppy they’d fostered while he’d been in training three years previously.
Mary and husband Sam missed three trains while they enjoyed the sisters’ stories about a carefree holiday in Cornwall with the adorable Hearing Dog puppy, how he had run free on the beach and bounced in the waves, and how much they’d loved him.
