Chad is an active-duty National Guard service member and also a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom II and Operation Enduring Freedom. His hearing loss is attributed to military combat and training operations while serving our country stateside in response to natural disasters and overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan. "I always worry that something is happening and I won't hear it or be able to respond in time. When I learned of the hearing dog program, I found IHDI and filled out the information." We had Chad come in for a visit to meet the staff and to take a walk through our kennels. This is where he first met Harmony. Harmony is a gentle and sweet Borzoi who is full of life. The staff knew instantly that the two would be a perfect match!

"I just wanted to let you know you guys giving me Harmony has given me the courage I need to seek out help. She makes me more social which makes me want to try and find better ways to hear better."
