Correct Transcript:

So, want to focus a little bit on dogs helping people in hospitals; and I'll be talking about therapy, dog. Let me tell you about Casey the patient in this photo. Casey was diagnosed with stage four non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at the age of three. So, Casey underwent an eight months of grueling chemotherapy; and as the chemotherapy was killing the cancer in his bloodstream, it was also sapping Casey. And his mom will tell you he regressed. He regressed too about a one-year-old. He would not sit up. He forgot his letters, his numbers, his colours; and then, Peanut came into the room. And Peanut started visiting Casey every Friday while he was undergoing treatment; and Casey's mom will tell you that peanut helped Casey turn the corner to recovery. It's the only way he would sit up when Peanut came into the room. He wouldn't sit up for anything else. He started talking and pairing, as you can see, playing with this cup, putting it on Peanut head and having a good time.

Printed "thunder", the speaker says "therapy"

Explanation: You will hear "talking about therapy dog". Both words start with t, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "trumping", the speaker says "grueling"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "months of grueling chemotherapy". They end with the same two letters, so listen from the start to hear the real word.

Printed "refrained", the speaker says "regressed"

Explanation: Listen again to "he regressed too". Both words start with r, so wait for the whole word before you click.

Printed "taking", the speaker says "undergoing"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "was undergoing treatment". They start with different letters, and the spoken word is much longer.

Printed "praising", the speaker says "pairing"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "started talking and pairing". They look similar, so trust your ears.

Printed "paving", the speaker says "playing"

Explanation: The speaker says "playing with this cup", not "paving". Both start with p, but the spoken word has an extra letter.

"Peanut" matches the audio

Explanation: "Peanut came into the room" may look like a trick because it is a name. The speaker says Peanut exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"chemotherapy" matches the audio

Explanation: "the chemotherapy was killing" is a long phrase that can confuse you. It is spoken exactly as printed, so do not click it.
