Alun Newman

Available for over a year

'If there's an animal on the planet that can help you learn lost emotions, from my experience it was a dog' When Allen Parton was injured in the Gulf War he lost 50% of his memory and his ability to feel emotions. He forgot his wife, and forgot his children. It wasn't until Endal came along years later that things began to change.
