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

Lexie Lou is our Chocolate Lab. She became a part of our life on September 4, 2005 as she was my husbands birhtday present. She is six months old and already over 50 pounds. She is a walking tummy that never wants to stop eating. Her favorite toys right now are the loudest possiable ones or her pink frisbee. She had two brothers, but is down to one now. His name is Chopper and his is a nine pound cat who thinks that Lexie is a big pain to say the least. She loves to go on walks to the park, but only when she doesn't have to wear her silly halti. She also loves to go for rides in the car to visit either of her grandparents. She wears a camo collar because she is a little bit of a tom boy and loves to have her teeth brushed by mommy. She is a big baby at heart and we wouldn't want it any other way.
