i know just too well how dogs can help like my mum said wen she bought me paddy i didnt want another dog but she told me she wanted something that would keep me in this world as family ect wasnt enough and it worked they are soooooooo much better then ppl

It is brill

But you know what, when I worked with Autistic Adults, all bar one was afraid of dogs, maybe it depends how they are introduced as children etc.
