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

Named Mad Max, but known as Max to everyone. Max was a great freind. He was always there to greet one. He was a very loveable, smart, intelligent dog.
Max came to me as a pup of 3 months. He quickly became a great freind. He was so intelligent, he actually tried to walk on his hind legs once and as a young dog he learned to open doors with his paws.
He always wanted to play. I wish I had spent more time of my busy schedule with him.
God be with you Max, till we meet at again at Heavens Gate.
I shall miss you very, very, very much.
