Owen Howkins was born with a very unusual illness. According to Owen's father, Will Howkins, at present there are only around 30 people in the world with the illness. Owen always needs a wheelchair to get around. Not surprisingly, people are always looking at him, and that used to make the young boy nervous and uncomfortable.

Owen became lonely and even stopped going outside his house. That, however，was all before a dog named Haatchi came into his life！

Haatchi had a very difficult start in life too. When he was just five months old，the dog was hit by a train. His tail and a leg were hurt so badly that both had to be cut off. Luckily，his story was posted online and was seen by Owen's father and mother. They fell in love with Haatchi and decided to keep him，thinking that they were helping him.

In fact，it was Haatchi who helped them. By always staying with Owen，he became the boy's best friend. Slowly，Owen liked going out. Now he proudly walks around the neighborhood，showing off his dog and telling anyone Haatchi's story.

Haatchi's influence on the young boy is great. In October 2012，the International Fund for Animal Welfare gave Haatchi a special award（獎(jiǎng)），The amazing friendship between the two has been shown in a short film called "A Boy and His Dog". It has not only won several awards，but also been watched by millions of people. British writer Wendy Holden has also written their story in a heart-warming children's book.
