Owen and Haatchi: A Boy and His Dog

72,168 views

"The day that Haachi met Owen was utterly incredible. It was electric. It was spiritual... they immediately understood they were going to work together as a team." ~ Colleen Drummond, Owen's stepmother. Owen is a 7-year old boy with a rare syndrome that leaves his muscles in a constant state of tension. Haatchi is an Anatolian Shepherd that was left to die on the railroad tracks, but managed to escape with a severed leg and tail. The shy little boy and the giant three-legged dog have been best friends since the day they met. "Everything changed in my life with him," says Owen of Haatchi. Drummond adds: "Owen and Haatchi simplify everything with pure love."

The "connection" between Owen and Haatchi tells us that life can only have meaning and value if we realize and manifest the "interconnectedness" of all the creation in this universe. Being in isolation lessens our value, being one with all gives the highest value to our existence. Despite of their circumstances, looking into the eyes of Owen and Haatchi, we see LOVE INFINITY.

I have 4 rescued dogs and a bumper sticker that reads "who rescued who?" This story tells it all.

My class and I are inspired by this video in many ways. We can't stop watching it! We are about to read Haatchi and Little B together! We cannot wait!! Owen is so young and so smart! He is brave and loving! Haatchi is lucky to have Owen and Owen is lucky to have Haatchi!
