Ginny is off to the supermarket 🛒
She wasn't fazed by any of the tempting treats or distractions and even resisted picking up a new teddy bear to take home.
She's very proud of herself, and we'd have to agree that she did a brilliant job!
Well done Team Ginny 🐾🥰

It's #DeafAwarenessWeek & we're highlighting some barriers that many deaf people face.
Joanna, with hearing dog Joey, shares:
“Supermarkets were a challenge. I’ve been asked to move out of the way but I didn’t hear. One person even pushed their trolley into the back of my legs to make a point.”
