39. "Who Rescued Who?”
Xena was taken to the shelter; she was a dog that had been neglected and mistreated to an amazing degree. Just a few minutes before Xena passed death from hunger, she weighed just four pounds. Eight-year-old autistic small child Jonny Hickey confides in her at the moment as his therapist and best friend.
"He is the happiest child that I have ever seen him be in these eight years," Johnny's mother said throughout the course of her explanation of how her son had made notable development while in Xena's company.
