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

Barking is my favourite past time, well it tops the list along with beating up my sister,
running, chasing and generally just being very very active
I allow my Mum and Dad to share my queen sized bed,
although they seem to think it is their's and kick me off.
My Aunt from England taught me how to chase cats, wow is that ever fun.
After a few experiences with camping I am still not sure about it,
perhaps next time we go we won't be rained on or attacked by mosquitos.
We have just moved into a new house, I miss my friend Seth a lot but we still meet up for long walks at the weekend.
I don't like the mud and having my feet washed before going indoors. I have a new girlfrienf though, her name is Chaos. Mum has
told me I need to wait until she gets a bit older before declaring my undying love. My sister Josie is not happy though, she's jealous!
The worse thing ever is having pieces of food in my water bowl
I have to tip it over when this happens.
The picture is of me when I was 12 weeks old. Can you believe it I have been with Mum and Dad for a year now, it has been fun, thanks for picking me!
