I love this video. Max, aged 6 has autism, and his mother got him a service dog. Max has improved tremendously since:

As usual I ended up watching a whole bunch of videos.
It is amazing how much a dog can help an autistic child. Dogs can break through the communications barriers and understand how the child feels and help them.
I wish more people were using therapy dogs for autism and a lot of other things. If we used more dogs people would all be a lot happier.

They are such gentle loyal and understanding dogs. Their patience and sense of duty are amazing.

Some dogs are just meant to be therapy dogs. They have a natural empathy for people. It is like they are born to serve. For an autistic child a dog means having someone there who understands. The world would be a less lonely place with a dog by your side.
Dogs really are our guardian angels.
