Autistic boy learns to communicate with others thanks to his dog

Belle and Sebastian in real life!

Very often dogs become real family members. They are excellent companions and everyone can rely on them.

There’s a little boy with autism named Leon living in Hampshire, UK. He has a dog best friend – Fern. Fern and Leon are like the main characters of the movie “Belle and Sebastian”.

The little boy’s life has changed a lot since the appearance of the Cocker Spaniel in their family. The boy didn’t speak any word until the age if 4.

Leon Kirby-Bulne could not speak and didn’t make eye contact with anyone. He didn’t interact with people and seemed to be locked in a separate world away from everyone.

“He loved Fern from the first sight!”, told his mother. “There was a sparkle in his eyes that we had never seen before”.

Parents noticed extraordinary changes in their son. Thanks to the 3-yer-old dog, Leon could finally get out of his shell and interact with his surroundings.

And so Fern and Leon became best friends!

There’s a unique and powerful bond between them. They do everything together. Fern helped his little friend gain self-confidence and open up to the world.
