I was given a ‘heads up’ on this story in the New York Daily News by a loyal reader/contributer to Container Diaries.
“It’s a communication he doesn’t have with another child,” said John Haugh of his son. After school, young John and Buddy watch videos together. At bath time, the dog will lay his head across the tub and look longingly at his friend.
John Haugh, who lived on 16th street between 9th and 10th avenues before moving to Staten Island has a 12-year-old autistic son.
A dog has come into their life and has made things a whole lot better.
Hey Haughy………….Its been a long time.I remember having many good times with you.I dropped by the neighborhood a few weeks ago and stopped and saw Diane and Tom Larkin. I would love to hear from you so drop me a line before i lite your sneaker laces on fire lol
Billy,
Hopefully John sees the Blog…
Billy - I’m the one that sent this to Steve. Not sure if John reads this or not. A friend of mine who went to Stony Brook with John sent this to me.
Stony Brook, now that’s a fine university.
Glad his son got a dog. A dog is a fine friend and golden retreivers are such nice dogs. John Haugh is a good guy. Knew him during high school. He was well liked. A big, blond haired, fair skinned guy. Hence, one nickname of his was Swede.
John/Haughy
I was just thinking about you hope all is well
