Service Dogs and Autistic Children – Pet Tip 253
Dogs help humans in so many ways. They help with companionship, with tasks that they carry out for us and sometimes they help make every day living much easier. Perhaps the best demonstration of this fact is when dogs help people with disabilities. Many of us have seen dogs helping blind people and many have heard of dogs that feel when a seizure in an epileptic person is about to occur and then protect them from injury. Dogs can also help aid autistic children and parents of autistic children in many ways as well. Recent studies suggest that the prevalence of autistic children in Canada may be 1 in 165 children or higher. Therefore, many people may well personally know of an autistic child in their extended family, or know of friends or acquaintances that have an autistic child. So how can dogs help these autistic children?
The National Service Dogs (NSD) organization in Ontario Canada, is one of the best organizations that specifically help train dogs to make the lives of autistic children better. You might be wondering how a service dog can be useful to autistic children

Hi, my name is Veda--which means 'life'. My humans named me Veda, because before I came along, there was no new life in our home. It was just mom and dad. There was another dog, before I came. But, when she died, it was hard to get another dog--for a long time. But, finally they were ready--and, I came along.
Don't let the word, 'Pit Bull' scare you. We are sweet, loyal, and smart! The owner of the Pit Bull, is the one responsible for their temperment--and, they are the ones who should be punished, if they teach their pit to be mean.
My hobbies are eating, playing, and sleeping--like most puppies. I love it, when mom gives me treats, especially meat :) And, when I play, it has more than one purpose--mom gets a workout, too!
