This is the inspiring account of a family's struggle to break into
their son's autistic world - and how a beautiful retreiver dog made
the real difference. Dale was still a baby when his parents
realised that something wasn't right. Worried, his mother Nuala
took him to see several doctors, before finally hearing the word
'autism' for the first time. Scared but determined that Dale should
live a fulfilling life, Nuala describes her despair at her son's
condition, her struggle to prevent Dale being excluded from a
'normal' education and her sense of hopeless isolation. Dale's
autism was severe and violent and family life was a daily
battleground. But the Gardner's lives were transformed when they
welcomed a gorgeous Golden Retriever into the family. The special
bond between Dale and his dog Henry helped them to produce the
breakthrough in Dale they had long sought. From taking a bath to
saying 'I love you', Henry helped introduce Dale to all the normal
activities most parents take for granted, and set him on the road
to being the charming and well-adjusted young man he is today. This
is a heartrending and fascinating account of how one devoted and
talented dog helped a little boy conquer his autism.
