Ok, so I read this and was intrigued enough to check it out. Just binge watched all episodes that are available. Totally worth it! Great watch!

This is Archie. He's deaf and doesn't hear when his humans get home. Luckily, his little brother Frankie lets him know with a gentle nudge to make sure he doesn't miss the moment. 14/10 for both (TT: melissamilne)
