Zebbie takes good care of his hearing impaired mom

Zebby has no formal hearing training, yet he helps 66-year-old mom around the home by tapping her when the phone rings or if he hears any strange noises, and by pacing in front of her if someone is at the door.

Every morning, this smart tuxie brings the post and slippers to his mom who says with Zebby around she doesn’t feel lonely and can’t imagine her life without him.

She added: “Without my hearing aid, I can’t hear anything, but now I have Zebby to help me. He’ll come and tap me when the phone is ringing, and then I can pop my hearing aid and speaker on and take the call.”

The bond between the Zebby and his mom is very close. “He loves to be around me – wherever I am, he’s not far behind,” she said.
