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

he was a great cat and i loved him. he was a good bird catcher. although it was a bit annoying. i had him for six years and i loved him.he was nice too most people but a bit scared. it always buged my dad when he would lay in his flowers. my dad is wierd and allways called him skippy.but he didnt like skippy peanutbutter. he always had an interesting meow. my friend (ashley) always made fun of him. he was very nice and cuddlly. he was a bit mean to other cats. he would chase the other cats out of there own yard.we also have a pond he never tried to catch the fish but just stared at them. i loved very much and i miss him a lot.
in memory of my best friend,
Tigger, love Veronica
