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

Mollie was the best dog I ever had.She was so smart..In the summer, I would leave the back door open and she would push the screen door open and go out, and when she wanted to come back in, she would hook her paw in a handle I put at the bottom of the door and open it and come in all by herself..She loved to ride..All I would have to say is..Mollie, want to go for a ride? and she would head right for the door..At night I would say, Mollie,you ready for bed? and she would get up and go to the cabinet and I would get her 2 Snaw Somes..then she would go to the bottom of the steps and I would give her one and she would go up stairs.go in the bathroom and eat it..then I would give her the other one. Then she would get up on the bed..lick my face then lay down with her head on my legs..She did that every single night...I miss her so much..
