PLEASE VOTE - Little boy with Schwarz-Jampel syndrome and his dog Haatchi - Crufts Friends for Life

[Bluebirdonmyshoulder]

I've never posted in the Doghouse before as only really post on the Special Needs board. However I'm a dog person and have lurked here a few times and have enjoyed a lot of the threads.

I'd just like to ask you all to take a look at this video and cast a vote for Owen and Haatchi in the Crufts Friends for Life competition. The winner will be announced this Sunday night, 10th March.

Owen Howkins is a little boy with a very rare genetic condition. Owen was scared of leaving the house due to his condition until Haatchi the dog came along.

You can see the video here but have the tissues ready.

The number to vote for Owen and Haatchi is 0844 646 0204.

I'm afraid that when I watch those segments I always end up with grit in my eye but when I watched that beautiful little boy I was in bits - such a wonderful pair together.

I've just shared this on my twitter how blinking lovely is this!! X

Thank you ladies and thanks for tweeting mama04!

This link is better, it goes straight to Owen and Haatchi's video.

Gorgeous dog, gorgeous little boy, one vote from me!
