Joe Learns to Listen

Joe talks so incessantly and is so full of ideas that even his parents and teacher occasionally feel like a break. When Mum and Dad decide to get him a dog called Bruno, they hope he will not only be a companion for Joe but will also enjoy listening to his constant chatter.

To their amazement, not only do Joe and Bruno become best mates but when Joe gets Covid 19, and loses his voice, Bruno comes to his rescue and in his own unique ‘doggie' way does all the communicating for him; even in Zoom classes!

The teacher declares Bruno "Top Dog of the Year" and when Joe eventually get his voice back Mum and Dad are happy to hear him chatting away loudly to Bruno each night, as Bruno lies snoring happily at his bedside!
