Canine lends an ear to allay woman's fear

A young dog has changed the life of her new owner, Ella Hebbard, 85, of Albert Town.
Mrs Hebbard cannot hear without her hearing aid.

The active widow is temporarily sharing her home with her son and daughter, Bruce and Alison, while they prepare to build a new house.

Mrs Hebbard was worried about not being able to hear smoke alarms when the couple moved out.
