Hearing Ear Dog Rags Aids North Carolina Engineer
IRALEIGH December 10. A remarkable dog named Rags serves as the hearing companion for Aberdeen city waterworks engineer Lewis. Born deaf, he guides pump operations by tail-chasing and alerting to noises the engineer cannot hear, notably signaling when to start extra pumps during fires. Rags ignores the regular 12 oclock bell but responds to other times, proving essential in preventing equipment failure.
