We're raising money for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People

This October, Albert and I will be taking part in The Great British Dog Walk. While we walk everyday, this time we are walking to raise money for Hearing Dogs for Deaf people. Every mile we walk, and every pound we raise, will help train more life-changing hearing dogs.

Hearing dogs are highly trained to alert deaf people to important and life-saving sounds, such as the smoke alarm, alarm clocks and even intruder alarms and baby monitors. They also provide lots of love, companionship and emotional support, which is really important as many deaf people can feel lonely and isolated.

Albert and I have been together for nearly 10 years now, and he has completely changed my life since day 1. Albert is absolutely amazing. He is very clever, loving, and my constant companion. I honestly don't know what I would do without him. He has given me the confidence to achieve things that I wouldn't have done without him. He has made me a more confident person, and also he has made me visible! He’s my ears, my best friend, my companion, my whole world and I love him to bits. Thanks to Hearing Dogs, partnerships like ours are possible. This charity truly changes lives, and we hope to raise as much as we can to help them.

It costs £25,000 to fully train a hearing dog, so by taking part in The Great British Dog Walk, we are helping to raise funds to train more dogs. Any donation, however large or small, will really help.

As you are aware that Albert is a hearing dog, so it's very important that he and (all hearing dogs) are allowed to have time, just to enjoy being a "dog", doing things they love. A walk is one of these things that Albert loves to do.

Albert will wear his PitPat tag which will record how many miles he walk each day including at home, out working etc. My watch will record how many miles we walk together on a walk. Remember Albert being a spaniel, he'll do more miles than me! I'll share some photos/videos of our walk. Our miles for each walk during October will be vary everyday.

🍂 Autumn is our favourite season and we can't wait to enjoy it on our walks 🍂

Please feel free to share our page to your family and friends. The more donations we get, the more they train life-changing hearing dogs to help deaf people to leave loneliness behind, by having their best friend by their side ❤🐾

Thank you so much for your support,
Sarah & Albert

✨ Total distance walked in 31 days: ⌚️66 miles (from my watch)

🎉🐾✨ Day 22 of our Great British Dog Walk is complete! 🎂🥾🍁

Today’s walk was extra special because… it’s my birthday! 🥳🎈 Even on my birthday, Albert and I are still walking for a cause that means so much to us — raising money for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People 🐕❤️

We had a bit of a lazy birthday morning (well deserved! 😴), but later on we set off for a beautiful walk around a park with a stunning lake view 🌳💧 My parents came with us too! ❤️

When we started, it was dark, gloomy, and rainy 🌧 … but then the sun made an appearance! ☀️ Yay! We loved every moment of it 🥰

There were a couple of crows too — we’re not sure if they’re as friendly as our little crow friends back home 🐦 Some flew away, but one stayed close and happily enjoyed a few of Albert’s treats 🤣 I think word has spread in the crow world that Albert shares snacks! 🐦💙🐾

Albert had so much fun running around and sniffing all the new smells 🐶💛 

It was such a stunning place — truly a pawfect way to spend my birthday 🎂🐾✨

📏 Today’s walk: 2.62 miles 👏🏻
🐾 Albert’s PitPat: 10.3 miles! 🤯💪

🍂 Only 9 days left until our Great British Dog Walk adventure comes to an end — we can’t believe how quickly it’s flown by! ✨

Every step we take helps Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, a charity so close to my heart. They train incredible, life-changing hearing dogs who give deaf people confidence, independence, and companionship ❤️

We only did one walk this morning (and managed to miss the rain again — yay! 🌧🍂), as we went out in the afternoon with our friends for a birthday celebration — bowling and a meal 🎳🎂

Albert was an absolute superstar as always 💙 He got very excited when I played bowling — it’s been nearly six years since I last played, so I’m a bit rusty! 🤣 He did get a little worried when I briefly left him with a friend while I took my turn, but I reassured him straight away that I wasn’t leaving him ❤️ Once he realised I kept coming back, he settled beautifully — taking it all in his stride. He is absolutely amazing. Love him so much 🥹🐾❤️

🥾 Morning walk: 1.65 miles ✨
🐶 Albert’s PitPat: 8.8 miles! 😯👏🏻

It’s my 'birthday' week 🥳🎂 — and we started it with an early morning walk at our local park 🍁🐶🍁🍂

Luckily, we didn’t get caught in the rain! 🌧️

After our walk, we spent most of the day at the shopping centre 🛍️ and managed to stay dry 😁

Albert was an absolute superstar as always 🌟 — he loves saying hello to everyone and made so many people smile ❤️🐾 He truly brightens up every day 🥰 

We didn’t do another walk in the late afternoon since we spent around 3–4 hours walking while shopping (oops! 😅). As soon as we got home, Albert curled up for a well-deserved power nap 💤😴🐾

After such a busy day yesterday (especially for Albert 🐾), both of us are taking it easy and letting our paws and feet recover 🐾💙

Rest days are just as important as walk/working days — they help Albert:
💪 Recover his muscles
🦴 Keep his joints healthy
🧠 Recharge his mind
⚡ Boost his energy for the next adventure

📊 Our progress so far:
⌚ From my watch: 37 miles walked since 1st October 🥾🐾

Today’s adventure took us to Alton Towers to celebrate not one, but two birthdays — mine (a pre-birthday treat, as it’s my birthday next week!) and my dad’s birthday today! 🎂🥳 Double celebration day! 💕 

Albert was an absolute superstar as always 💙 He couldn’t join me on the rides, of course, but my parents looked after him while I went on.

Every time I came back, he greeted me with the biggest welcome — tail wagging, happy paws, and all! 🥹🐶❤️

He had such a lovely time too, walking around the park and making both staff and visitors smile 😀

I tried my best to keep track of our steps — pausing my watch while waiting in queues or on rides, and starting it again once I was back with Albert 🚶‍♀️🎢

Today’s walk: 4.71 miles
Albert’s PitPat: 9.2 miles 🐶💪

Day 9

Thursday 9th Oct
Day 9 of our Great British Dog Walk is complete! 🐾🥾✨

A shorter one for us today — we did 1.34 miles in total, with a little walk in the morning and another in the late afternoon. Plenty of sniffs and two gentle, easy walks for Albert 🐶🍂

We were out shopping in between 🛍 so I didn’t want to overtire my superstar hearing dog, Albert, after his full day of work 💙 

His PitPat says he’s done 8 miles in total! 😯

We’ve now raised £87 plus £10.75 GiftAid so far, which is absolutely amazing! 👏🏻

Day 8

Thursday 9th Oct
Day 8 of our Great British Dog Walk is complete! 🐾🥾✨ (8/10/2025)

Today we had a bit of an adventure — we travelled to a different park by bus and train with our lovely friend who joined us for the day! 🚉🐶

What a beautiful place it was 😍 Everything’s starting to look so autumny 🍁🍂

We walked 2.25 miles from the train station to the park, all the way around the lake, and to the café where we stopped for a yummy lunch 😋☕ Then we explored a bit more before heading back to the station — another 0.75 miles!
Total: 3 miles 👏🏻
Albert’s PitPat: 8.3 miles 🐾💪

Day 7

Wednesday 8th Oct
Day 7 of our Great British Dog Walk is complete! 🐾🥾✨

A bit of a gloomy one today — no blue skies or sunshine, just plenty of grey clouds ☁️ But that didn’t stop us! We still enjoyed two lovely walks around our local park 🌳🐶 Crows joined us again 🐦‍⬛😊

Morning walk: 1.35 miles
Afternoon walk: 1.21 miles
Total: 2.56 miles 👏🏻

Albert’s PitPat: 7.6 miles 🐾💪

Day 6

Tuesday 7th Oct
Day 6 of our Great British Dog Walk is complete! 🐾🥾✨ (6/10/2025)

What a gorgeous autumn day 🌞🍂 We enjoyed a lovely morning walk before heading out in the afternoon — a bit of shopping, followed by a meal and a catch-up with our lovely friend 🛍️🍽️💬

Albert did plenty of walking throughout the day — both on our morning stroll and while out and about in his Hearing Dog uniform 🐶💙 He takes his job so seriously and always makes me so proud ❤️ He even got a few smiles and compliments while working (he absolutely loves the attention!) 😄

It’s always important to find the right balance between walking and working, making sure Albert doesn’t overdo it 🧡🐾

Morning walk: 1.38 miles
Albert’s PitPat: 8.8 miles 👏🏻🐾

Every step and pawprint helps raise vital funds for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, who train incredible life-changing hearing dogs like Albert to change lives — bringing independence, confidence, and companionship 🐾💙

Day 5

Sunday 5th Oct
Day 5 of our Great British Dog Walk is done! 🐾🥾

We had two lovely walks at our local park today — one in the morning and one in the afternoon! A little windy thanks to Storm Amy, but still such a beautiful day to get out and about 🌤️💨

Morning walk: 1.28 miles
Afternoon walk: 1.15 miles
Total: 2.43 miles 👏🏻

There were lots of conkers on the ground — the wind must have been strong to knock so many down! Don’t worry, Albert didn’t touch them at all 😊. We even spotted some mushrooms 🍄 Albert left those alone too!

The crows joined us on our walk 🐦 During the COVID lockdown, we made friends with a few crows at the park, and ever since 2020 they’ve sometimes flown over to see us — even joining us on our walks! 🐦 They patiently wait for me to share a few of Albert’s treats (which they love!). Albert doesn’t mind sharing either — sharing is caring, after all 😍 They don’t follow anyone else, just us (see video!).

We had lots of fun as always, and Albert’s PitPat showed he clocked up 6.3 miles today! 🐶👏🏻

Day 4

Saturday 4th Oct
Day 4 of our Great British Dog Walk is done — indoors this time! 🥾🐾

Storm Amy arrived with plenty of wind and rain today 🌧️💨, so I decided it was safer for Albert and me to stay indoors — safety first!

Albert’s been working really hard lately, so today was the perfect opportunity for him to have a well-earned rest day 🐶💙. It’s so important for dogs, especially working dogs like Albert, to have the right balance between activity and rest ❤️

While Albert relaxed (and kept a close eye on me from his comfy bed 😄), I jumped on the treadmill and walked 3.03 miles 💪👏🏻 Albert still managed to get some steps in around the house and garden — his PitPat showed 3.5 miles! 🐾 Not bad for a rest day! 😄 (I didn’t put his collar on until late morning).

Every step and pawprint helps raise funds for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People ❤️🐾

Day 3

Saturday 4th Oct
Day 3 of our Great British Dog Walk is done! 🐾🥾

We’re back home now after a lovely few days away in Blackpool 💙🐾 
Before we headed home, we squeezed in a quick walk around the caravan site 🏕🐶 and once we were back, we carried on with a walk in our local park 🌳🌧 Albert enjoyed being back on his familiar paths, sniffing every corner as usual 💙😁🐶🐾✨️🍂🧡

In total, our walk today came to 2.04 miles 👏🏻 — while Albert, wearing his PitPat all day, clocked an amazing 7.7 miles 🐾💙

Every step and pawprint helps raise money for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People 🧡 Thank you so much for your support — it really does mean the world! 🌍
