In May 2022, Paws With A Cause (PAWS) introduced a remarkable hearing aid named Coby into the life of his new partner. From the start, Coby and his partner developed a strong bond, learning each other’s patterns. While they excelled together, one challenge remained—Coby’s way of getting attention while walking. Instead of a gentle touch, Coby would suddenly sit down, nearly causing a fall. Despite the surprises, his instinct was life-saving.

In October 2023, while crossing a busy intersection, Coby pulled his partner back just in time to avoid a speeding fire engine. The onlookers were in awe, shouting praises for the incredible dog that had just saved a life. This incident, and many others, highlighted how essential Coby’s assistance truly is. Beyond the daily tasks, Coby has helped his partner reconnect with the community, easing fears and opening doors to new relationships. Coby is not just a service dog; he’s a hero and a protector.
