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

Mr. Wiggles is the name of my cat, he was gentle,loving & playful, he was a good cat, he used to try to catch the mouse on my moniter & chase snacks, he had so much hair on his paws that he would slide all over the floor. he kept his beautiful long hair well groomed every day.Mr. Wiggles was the father of 4. He lost his young life in an accident by crossing a busy highway. I'll never forget Mr. wiggles my cat and my friend. We loved him very much and Tippy did too.
