Haatchi and Little B

Animal lovers must read this tale of courage, bravery, loyalty and love.

Wendy Holden, author, gets the brutality of Haatchi, an Anatolian Shepherd, out of the way in the opening chapter, she also brings in the love and dedication of animal lovers to save Haatchi, both with medical attention and emotional attention. That Haatchi not only survived this ordeal, but also remained a trusting, loving animal to humans, is amazing. This becomes evident when he is finally introduced to Owen.

Owen, otherwise known as "Little B" has a rare genetic disorder that is very debilitating, he is extremely shy around folks that he is not close to, when Haatch enters "Little B's" life that all changes, not overnight, but gradually.

This is a beautifully written account of a dog and a boy who needed each other. This account is filled with love, compassion, humor and joy.

A must read for all animal lovers!

This is my review from Goodreads
