EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this heartwarming print captured by Louis Garnade, we are transported back to the year 1960. Meet Barry Blackwood, a spirited five-year-old boy from Woolston, Southampton, and his loyal six-month-old Labrador companion named Rocky. Little did they know that fate would intertwine their lives in an unexpected way. Rocky's misfortune struck first when he suffered a broken leg on his way to meet Barry from school after being hit by a car. The bond between these two pals was so strong that it seemed as if Barry could feel Rocky's pain deep within his own soul. Four days later, tragedy struck again when young Barry fell from a gymnasium springboard at school and broke his leg in sympathy with his beloved pet. This image serves as a testament to the unbreakable bond between humans and animals. Despite their injuries, both Barry and Rocky display unwavering strength and resilience. Their shared experience not only strengthens their friendship but also teaches them valuable lessons about compassion and empathy at such tender ages. Louis Garnade's photograph captures this extraordinary moment frozen in time – an enduring reminder of the power of love and companionship during challenging times.
