The truth about Tom and Bobo

Setting the story straight 

It has come me to my attention that lots of stories are circulating on the news media and blogs online about Tommy Jones ( my 8 year old son ) and Bobo ( his chihuaha) 

Tommy does have hemiplegia cerebral palsy, he did have Group strep B meningitis at birth and he does struggle to do things that other children take for granted ( like riding a regular bike, running  or writing because of muscle spasms and stiffness) 

Bobo did suffer a serverly broken leg soon AFTER he came to live with us because the vet misdiagnosed it and he did require more than one surgery to save his leg.

After a lot of money and love the leg was saved but is completely fused , so he can't bend it at all but he gets around on the pinned leg just fine.

He might not be able to go for huge walks , the same as Tommy and the two of them have been a huge comfort to each other .

Tommy has struggled with lots of things and feeling different to other kids and having Bo has certainly helped him cope mentally.

I would like to state categorically that Tonmy had been walking for several years before Bo came to live with us.

As one online publication falsely stated they literally took their first steps together, it's nonsense.

Absolutely rubbish to suggest that our son who is 8 has only just started to walk.
