Summary
On a bitterly cold night in January 2012, Haatchi the dog was hit over the head and abandoned on a railway line to be hit by a train. Somehow, the terrified puppy survived. Adopted by Colleen Drummond and Will Howkins,… respectively the dad and stepmum of Owen (known to his family as Little B for 'little buddy'), the lucky dog moved into the Howkins' family home just six weeks after almost being killed. Owen, now aged eight, has a rare genetic disorder and is largely confined to a wheelchair. When he awoke the morning after Haatchi arrived he immediately fell in love with the severely disabled rescue animal who would, in turn, rescue him. 2014.
