But Doctor Zippy is here to help With his gentle "Hoovescription" and his signature wisdom, Zippy shows Boom Boom that his hearing aids are not a weakness, they are a tool that will help him hear the game, connect with his team, and feel confident both on and off the field. Zippy helps Boom Boom picture a new world of activities and confidence, where his "different" ears become his superpower.

This beloved horse touched countless lives with his "Zmooches," his willing attitude, and his unwavering spirit-and his legacy lives on in these pages.
