Can anyone point me to a good informative website about hearing dogs?

Hi.. I know most deaf people don't consider deafness a "disability" so I apologize for not knowing a better section of Yahoo answers to post this question.

I was wondering if anyone could be so kind as to point me to a good, informative website about assistance dogs for the deaf. I am interested in learning more about them (like how they help a deaf person in their day-to-day life) I know that they alert a deaf person to certain sounds (I.E.. Telephone, crying baby) But I'd like to learn more. Any information would be appreciated.

Personally I would LOVE to be able to work as a trainer for these kinds of service dogs...

Thanks!!

The San Francisco SPCA's web site, http://www.sfspca.org/hearing_dogs/index... provides a good explanation of hearing dogs.

If you are interested in working as a trainer, you may want to contact a service club, such as the Lions. They place dogs with trainers for the first year to year and a half of the dog's life. The trainer provides a loving home and gives the dog obedience and public access training. If the dog is successful at this, then it is sent to a school for training as a hearing dog. Some of the Lion's hearing dog sites are http://www.canadasguidetodogs.com/dogjob... http://www.hearingdogs.asn.au/, and http://www.ihdi.org/.
There is also at least one Yahoo group devoted to hearing dogs, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hearingdog...
