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 there! Our names are Bailey and Lucky. We were not always friends - not even from the same litter. Our "family" brought me(Bailey) home first. It was soon after the birth of my big "sister", and they had just moved to Halifax. It was good for me, 'cause I had been sitting in a cramped cage, at a pet store for over a month! Since I was so lonely, and they had just had their other dog pass away, we made the perfect match!!! Life was full of happiness, and busy. We made a move to Ontario, and I made lots of new friends! My best friend I met by chance. My "family" decided that I needed a pal for home... 'cause they wouldn't be able to have anymore children. So, one morning, they went to visit the Humane Society, in Scarborough. One thing led to another, and that afternoon, I had a new "sister", named Lucky. We had to be very gentle with her, "cause she had been through a very rough time. It wasn't love at first site... I felt like she got more attention than me, not too mention she took to my territory. Anyway, my "mom" had lots of patience, and within two months, we were and have remained in-seperable. We've had our share of adventures, some good, and some not so good.... but we won't discuss those. Now we have a little one in the house, and she keeps us busy!!!! But we don't mind, "cause she always has a treat or two for us! Gotta love the kids!
