I love this relationship!
A Canadian Labradoodle is scheduled to air on CNN's Larry King Live on April 2, which is World Autism Awareness Day.
See article... http://www.thespec.com/News/CanadaWorld/article/347348 Considering the large number of children being diagnosed with autism, and the fact that the dog used is the type I breed, I found this story worth sharing. This precisely what these hybrid dogs were developed to do. What a noble cause! That they make wonderful pets too is just icing on the cake.

I've worked with individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities for many years - it always amazes me to see how they will respond to an animal.

Great article Tink! I don't know if we can get Larry King or not, never watched him before. I'll check it out.
I have three teen brothers that ride my bus in the afternoon. All three have autism. The stories the teachers tell.....anyway...I wish these boys had a animal to help them. Their parents are getting divorced and a pet or service animal just doesn't fit in their life right now. What a shame.
