Dogs of Sound Relief Hearing Center
At Sound Relief, we love dogs! In fact, we love dogs so much that we created a page featuring our furry friends.
Some people say that people resemble their dogs and vice versa.
We left off the names of the dogs’ humans to see if you can tell who belongs to whom.
You can learn more about each pup and who their human is by clicking their name or picture.
Bandit
Bandit is Dr. Drew Price’s four-legged fur child. He’s a pure-bred mutt who enjoys pretty much everything. Bandit likes car rides, hiking, snuggling, and will high-five you for treats. He also loves catching the frisbee but turns it into a game of keep-away so his mom will chase him. He hasn’t caught a squirrel yet, but his never-ending persistence is inspiring.

Bodhi
Meet Bodhi! (Pronounced Bo-Dee) Bodhi is Dr. Tony Kovacs’s 9-year-old chocolate lab named after the bodhi tree, which is the tree under which the Buddha sat when he became enlightened. However, this dog is anything but calm and reflective. As chocolate labs tend to be, Bodhi is a total lunatic, even at 9 years old! A loveable escape artist, Bodhi has been known to break through many screen doors and windows in a determined (but never successful) attempt to catch squirrels, cats, or just go for a sprint around the neighborhood. Bodhi was adopted at 1 year old and has been with Dr. Kovac’s and his wife, Lisa, ever since. Bodhi is an excellent snuggler and LOVES swimming, hiking, and playing fetch and tug-o-war. He’s very good with his new little human sister, Margot, who gets startled when Bodhi gives her huge sloppy kisses.

Brinkley
Brinkley is a mini Goldendoodle who loves chasing rabbits, thinks she is a lap dog, and is extremely smart. She is gentle, playful, and a people dog. Fun fact: for some reason, she gets freaked out by puppies and runs away from them.
Brinkley’s human is TJ Tanberg, who works in the Highlands Ranch office.
Charlie Brown
Charlie Brown – aka Charles, Char Char
Charlie is a Catahoula/Pit mix and is 9 months old. He is a happy-go-lucky guy who loves to play tug of war and go to the dog park.
Char Char’s human is Amy Reel, the controller at Sound Relief Hearing Center.
Dylan
This is Dylan. We had her for 12 years and lost her in the winter of 2020.
She was a foster fail from my days before kids when I was just starting as an audiologist and fostered many puppies through a local rescue. Dylan was a foster fail who grabbed onto my heart and made me fall in love with her and keep her as mine. She was a true mixed breed that no DNA test could identify. She loved Sunday donut day and would gesture and lead us to the door to leave to get them on Sundays. We miss her.
Dylan’s human is Dr. Abby McMahon. Dr. McMahon sees patients at Sound Relief in Fort Collins, CO.
Gracie
Amy adopted Gracie in 2018, she was 10 years old and had been surrendered to a shelter by her previous owner. Although Amy’s time with Gracie was a very short three years, she made the biggest impression on her family’s hearts with her sweet demeanor.
Amy Reel is the controller at Sound Relief Hearing Center.

Libby
This is Libby. She was born early 2021 and became a part of our family Spring of 2021. Our family had lost Dylan the previous year and found ourselves ready to add another dog to the family. A patient had gotten a dog from a website from North Dakota and shared it with me as a place to look for dogs. As I looked on the site, I found an ad for her, an English Cream Golden Retriever. Having always rescued, it was hard for me to get a breeder dog, but some convincing from my boys who wanted a golden retriever puppy finally took hold when I saw her mom on the North Dakota site.
We drove up as a family to North Dakota to get her over a long weekend and she has been part of the family ever since.
She is a lively addition to our house and can’t stand to be more than a few feet away from us at all times. She loves to snuggle, play with toys, and find stuff to chew up!
Libby’s human is Dr. Abby McMahon. Dr. McMahon sees patients at Sound Relief in Fort Collins, CO.
Loki
This is Loki, Layla’s family dog back in Wisconsin. He is a 3-year-old husky. Loki loves watching Bucks games, playing in the park with his fur friends, and being all-around mischievous like the meaning of his name!
Layla is the Audiology Assistant at Sound Relief in Scottsdale, AZ, Mesa, AZ, and Peoria, AZ.
Louie & Junie
Dr. Alison LaBrec’s dogs – the larger dog is Louie (Australian mix), and the smaller dog is Junie (Auggie which is an Australian Shepherd mixed with a Corgi). They love hiking, fetch, and their favorite day of the month…. when their Bark Box comes.

Oscar
This is Oscar. Dr. McMahon lost him at the age of 7 to cancer. He was a HUGE golden retriever weighing in at 130 pounds. People were always amazed at how big he was, and he could always check out what they were eating at the dinner table just by standing there! He was a big lover and didn’t realize his size. When Dr. McMahon brought the boys home from the hospital, each time Oscar immediately took to them and wouldn’t leave their sides. His sudden passing still leaves a hole in her family’s hearts.

She loves going on walks, people watching from windows, playing at the park, or doing anything that involves an adventure. One day she will be famous, so Paris has her own Instagram page – @parisalaskanqueen.

Poppy
This is Poppy. She is a mix of pit bull, Australian cattle dog, Australian shepherd, and American Staffordshire terrier. Her two favorite things are frisbees and people. Poppy goes crazy for frisbees, and there is no doubt she would play catch with a frisbee until she passes out from exhaustion.

Samson
Samson is a 7-year-old lab mix. Dr. Fasman and her husband rescued him from the Humane Society when we lived in St. Louis, MO. Samson weighs almost 90 lbs. but thinks he’s a lap dog. Even though he’s shorthaired, winter is his favorite season because he LOVES playing in fresh snow and snuggling after.

Stella
This is Stella.
Dr. McMahon got her as a puppy in 2017 from a rescue off the Navajo reservation. She was just supposed to be a foster dog but ended up being one of her foster fails and became an official family member that summer. The one picture shows Abby’s son, 3-year-old Charlie, holding and loving on her. She is a small husky/shepherd mix, who often gets mistaken for a coyote and looks part wolf! She sings/talks like a husky and always has lots to say!
