In Leyland, a heartwarming story unfolds as nine-year-old Jacob, diagnosed with a terminal lung condition and Down's Syndrome, takes on a monumental challenge alongside his cockapoo puppy, Ralph. The pair have committed to walking every day in February, aiming to hit the 100km mark to support Derian House, a hospice providing care for over 400 children with life-limiting conditions in the North West [United Kingdom]. Despite his non-verbal status and health hurdles, Jacob's journey with Ralph underscores the profound companionship and emotional support pets can offer.
