A friend with autism has a new best friend, one who makes him feel safer and braver. Surely, when creating the first dog, God envisioned this future loyal service.
From Pawsitivity Service Dogs website:
“There are numerous tasks and therapeutic functions that a service dog may be trained to provide. Typically this training focuses on leveraging the dog’s natural senses to help the handler interpret the world around them . . . Relying on a service dog’s incredible hearing, smell, and other senses, the handler is reassured that the environment they are currently in is not dangerous.”
Thank you, Lord, for creating these dear animals to serve us as protector, encourager, sympathetic ear, watchman, timekeeper and best friend. They are your safe shelter on four legs.
