Haatchi and Little B

Haatchi and Little B tells the inspiring and moving true story of Owen Howkins (also known as Little B, short for 'Buddy') and Haatchi, an Anatolian shepherd dog who was abandoned on a railway line as a puppy and left for dead.

Thankfully, Haatchi was rescued, despite sustaining severe injuries. And so Haatchi, in turn, was able to rescue Owen, at the time an anxious and withdrawn little boy born with a rare genetic disorder, who found it hard to make friends. But Owen fell in love with his new three-legged canine housemate at first sight, and life would never be the same.

The touching story of this dynamic and loveable duo is a life-affirming tale of happiness and friendship.

Fascinating and hugely entertaining. An intense, incredibly brave narrative tinged with moments of outright hilarity, it’s impossible to put down.

Careful and clearly written, his book contains more truth, wit and sensitivity than 100 manifestos.

Terrific…an unsparing and unsentimental look at a subject many keep hidden: mental illness.

—— Nature magazine

[A] fascinating, page-turning book, with Stossel interspersing facts with personal experiences, as well as stories about famous names who have suffered from the condition and snippets of information he has received from the many therapists he's seen over the years. This is a captivating and insightful look at anxiety.

—— Press Association, 4/5 stars

[An] informed and authoritative but personal overview of a debilitating condition

Stossel writes a well thought out, in-depth analysis of the history of anxiety disorders in modern times.
