Little-Miss Fashion ters. They were touched by the pathetic looks of this short - haired, fawn - colored pup. But a dog that couldn't hear? Too many problems. Meyers, the president of Radio-ear Corp. which man ufactures hearing aids, read about Bill in a Pittsburgh newspaper. "Being deaf myself, I can sympathize with the puppy's plight," he explained.

Attendants attached a hear ing aid to his ear and a bat tery to his collar. Promise Kept. Various tones were fed into his ear. Then a high frequen cy note. The dog reared up, tossed his head. There was hope. Meyers kept his promise the dog was fitted with a hearing aid. An now Bill is leading a dog's life-which with a hear ing aid isn't so bad after all. But Bill still needs one thing to make that dog's life complete a master. His new friends feel he'll have one soon.
