Falling Behind
Danny grew up not able to consume solid food and had trouble lifting his head up.He had a terrible speed in learning new things. He has difficulty in his speech and it took him very long till he could be able to crawl and walk in comparison to other kids his age.
Wishing and Hoping
“It’s frustrating because every parent hopes her child will excel,” Dixie had revealed in an interview she gave back in the year 1999. “So we coached him, we urged him, we encouraged him. But we knew from the first time we met him that he had problems.”
The Struggle Continues
Danny began school in a special education program but was still having trouble coping with his studies and friends. Even at an age of 5, he was still behind most of his classmates. Danny could not use the restroom on his own and he could not form proper sentences.
A Strained Marriage
His mother and her husband soon had multiple fights and arguments due to his condition. In the end, his parents decided to separate. She then moved with the kids to Ojai, California. She got back together with her ex and married him after a while.
An Unexpected Friend
Danny’s family soon found themselves living nearby to dog trainer Dennie’s place. Nobody expected Saki to play such an important role in their lives. This stray dog with a lot of love to give was soon going to change their lives for the better.
