‘It\u2019s a special feeling to see him look so happy after what he has been through,’ says his mother<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A 12-YEAR-OLD boy with an incurable blood condition has been given a dream day out with officers from South Wales Police. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harrison Eason, from Barry, has always dreamed of being a dog handler. During his time at the force\u2019s headquarters in Bridgend he got to give commands to the K9 unit and was presented with his own police helmet by Chief Constable Jeremy Vaughan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harrison’s mother, Hazel James, said he was overwhelmed by the day and loved it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s a reward for Harrison\u2019s bravery over the last few years,\u201d said the NHS worker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harrison has fibromuscular dysplasia, an extremely rare condition that affects his heart, brain and kidneys, causing weakness. He is also autistic and has ADHD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
