The Beijing Hearing Dog Association has a plan. They plan to choose some stray dogs（流浪狗） and train them. Then the dogs will be able to help the old and the deaf.
They will choose young dogs, because it's easier to train them. The kind of dog is not important.
Twenty-four volunteers will join the training. They all have some experience of keeping dogs and they all love dogs. They will learn a special language first from the coach（教练） and they teach the dogs. This training will take 180 days. Then the better-performed dogs will enter the next training. They will learn to understand different sounds, such as knocking on a door and water boiling. Then the dogs will live with the deaf or the old for 30 days.
Some people think the plan won't work, because it will cost a lot of money. But some people like the plan and they would like to be the volunteers.
