7.Eight-year-old Owen Howkins suffers from growth delays(迟缓) and poor eyesight.This means that Owen needs a wheelchair to get around.Not surprisingly,he felt people were staring (盯着看) at him,and that made him very uncomfortable,so he became lonely and even stopped going outside of his house.That,however,was all before Haatchi came into his life!
Haatchi had a very unlucky start to life too.Tied to a railway track when he was just five months old,the dog was hit by a train.The hit unjured his tail and a leg so badly that both had to be cut off.Taken to a rescue shelter(救助站),the dog would have probably been killed if his story posted on Facebook had not been seen by Owen's dad Will.He fell in love with Haatchi and decided to keep him,thinking that they were helping him.It turns out that it was Haatchi who helped them.By always staying at young Owen's side,he became the boy's best friend.Slowly Owen liked to go outside.Wherever he goes,the dog follows and protects him.Owen now proudly walks around the neighborhood,showing off his dog and telling anyone willing to listen,Haatchi's story.
Haatch's positive influence on the young boy has not gone unnoticed.In October 2012,the International Fund of Animal Welfare presented him with a special award(奖).The amazing friendship between the two has also been shown in a touching short film called"A Boy and His Dog"by students from the filmmaking class at the University of Hertfordshire.It has won several awards and had almost 2million views.British best-selling author Wendy Holden has also writtern about this touching friendship in a aheartwarming children's book,which was released on February 13th and had made Owen and Haatchi better known!
