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 Hailey... I'm a very friendly bird and I was just adopted less than a year ago by my owner. I was owned by a bartender prior to that, but I got too loud for him to keep me. I'm very happy in my new home.
I enjoy to lounge on my owners shoulder and poop on her ;)! I also like to eat out of peoples mouths, they dont like that so much.I also love to fly around.I hate to not be payed attention to, or to be left alone. If I dont get my way, I get mad ;).I am afraid of the dark.My favorite toy is my new siblings toy, and her (we think its a her) cage ;)!My best memory is when we got my sister(?) on November/5th/2005, she was only 2 months old then.
