Back in August last year Mission Beach Lions sponsored a hearing assistance dog. After a naming competition amongst residents the name Fenby was decided after very colourful local pioneer.. Fenby has been in extensive training since then and he has come a long way.
He demonstrated recently to the Governor-General of Australia how he alerts to sounds by a one paw touch during her visit to the Australian Lions Hearing Dogs headquarters.
Fenby has completed his Public Access Test a month early, passing it with ease! This means he will be offered to his recipient soon.
Additionally, Fenby has been selected to attend an interstate Lions Convention during early October!!!!
Mission Beach should be incredibly proud of him!
