A Friend Like Henry

Tweet

I just bought this book entitled [B][I]A Friend Like Henry[/I][/B] by Nuala Gardner. It is actually a true to life story. It is a remarkable true story of an autistic boy and the dog that unlocked his world. Let me share to you what is written on the back cover of the book... When Jamie and Nuala Gardner chose a puppy for their son Dale, they weren't an ordinary family choosing an ordinary pet. Dale's autism was so severe that his behaviour could veer from silence to shrieking banshee in just seconds. Jamie and Nuala spent most of their waking hours trying to break into his autistic world. But the Gardners' lives were transformed when they welcomed Henry, a gorgeous Golden Retriever puppy, into the family. With patient work, the bond between Dale and his dog helped them produce the breakthrough in their son they had long sought. I am so excited to finish the book. Has anyone here read the book?
