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

I am a big goofy, momma's boy!! I like playing in my pool's durning the summer, but I only like water when I SAY!! Shower's are awful!! I don't "drink" my water like normal dogs, I bite at it until I have gotten enough, then carry about a 1/2 cup to a full cup around the house/backyard, usually dumped on dad's lap. I love playing in the mud with my sister, well playing at all with her. However being she is smaller then me, she has A LOT more stamina then me. My favorite thing is sitting half on mom's lap getting and ear rub, I moan and groan when she does it, not so much for dad. My feelings get hurt easily and I pout if they do. Mom has a soft spot for it most of the time ;o). and I know it. I don't get to see mom often enough(she has this thing called a job) and I try to block her from leaving for work some morning's. All and all I am great boy, except for the accidnets at night-I am locked in all night what am I supposed to do.
