A boy with autism, an abused dog waiting to die, two unfortunate fates and weaves a story of kindness and kindness.
Accordingly, the rare story tells about Xena – a 4-month-old dog who was rescued by rescue volunteers from the scythe of death. The dog was found by animal rescuers waiting to die due to starvation and locked in a locked cage in Dekalb County, Georgia USA.
Today.com reported that the rescuers brought Xena home and they thought she could not survive the night because her body was severely dehydrated and her nose was full of scaly wounds. Thinking about the poor dog’s situation, the medical experts came to the conclusion: Xena is 100% dead, only partly alive.
Information about Xena is updated by the rescue center every day on the local media. And after seeing information about the dog, Linda Hickey, a 44-year-old woman, who lives nearby, sympathized with the poor dog.
After learning about Xena’s recovery, with goodwill to give him a family home, she discussed with her husband her wish to adopt Xena.
At first, although he agreed to adopt the dog, Mr. Grant (50 years old), Ms. Linda’s husband, was still worried because the family had two dogs, moreover, their son has autism. He is concerned that Xena will bring trouble to the family.
Grant and his wife have a son named Jonny Hickey who has autism. The boy is very quiet, hates contact with people around, is afraid of new things, just plays with old marbles all day.
It’s been almost 9 years, Jonny barely smiles, doesn’t speak, doesn’t express feelings to anyone?. But just two months after Xena entered Jonny’s life, the boy completely changed.
According to Ms. Linda, from the moment she first met, on the drive home, the little dog jumped into Jonny’s lap and kissed him all over his face. From then on, that was Xena’s seat.
What is more surprising is that the autistic boy has been happy, laughing and talking in the house since Xena has been there. The boy’s family was very emotional when they saw the scene.
Jonny is not only more open in communication, the things that he does also show that his autism is being effectively controlled.
Mr. Grant’s family found that Jonny and his dog Xena had a close, inexplicable bond. The two understand each other deeply, and always feel the need for each other. The family is really excited and happy about the boy’s transformation.
