Service dogs for children are our heroes! They are trained to help kids in amazing ways. In this video, we share with you how they help autistic kids. We interview a boy who attended an Autism Service Dogs of America camp, where he and other kids took service dogs with them to go bowling, to a barbecue, to a lake, and other fun activities. Being with one particular service dog–a Golden Retriever–made Andrew feel happy, he says.

In the second half of this video, the boy’s mom explains that service dogs sense anxiety in children and then take action. In the photo above, the dog is applying “deep pressure,” which can help children with autism.

She teaches a kids’ sports team about sports, confidence, teamwork–and life! The book also teaches kids about the magical connection between children and dogs.
