I'm sobbing. I was just diagnosed with autism, a higher functioning autism, but I have this connection with animals few can understand. I love this boy and this dog.

sometimes in life we look for things/help that come from so called "graduated professionals". Just like this family wasting tons of cash on ppl who act like computers behind a desk and have 0 experience on life, they just ate books in college. Go to a shelter, u might be surprised and it can cost you almost nothing to get ur son a friend.

I live with epilepsy and my fiancé and I adopted a pit who had seizures as well. Which is why no one wanted his handsome toosh. Murphis Ray Bojangels has since outgrown his seizures(yayyyyyy!!) and let's his dad know when I am about to have an episode, as I had been uncontrolled. He is off his meds and very healthy but he really does take care of me, and our lives are so much more relaxed. He makes going shopping or going to dinner feel so much more safe for us. We both feel at ease with him around. We never "trained" him he just knew. Murphy deserved his service vest and certificate. There are so many more pitbulls that can do just the same. He was the best 450$ spent (rescue expenses). We trust him with our world. They are the best "nannys".

We rescued a dog & she immediately attached herself to me (we joke calling her my velcro dog). About a month after getting her she figured out herself how/when to wake me during PTSD nightmares or lays her head on my cheek if I cry from depression. I often tell her she ended up being the one who did the rescuing! Awesome story

Although I understand your point maybe you could be a little less angry. People already think that atheist are angry and rude. Don't give them ammunition. If they want to believe in God just let them. The idea of God gives some people hope and something to hold on to. As long as they're not self righteous tools they're not hurting anybody. Especially you.

When a dog sits on you, you become theirs. When the dog lays with you, you are protected. When the dog decides to stay with you, it's instant love. You belong to that dog and that dog chose you as their friend, love, protector and all around companion. It's a shame their lives are so short and the people that abuse them, their lives so long.

Autistic children and dogs often seem to have a special relationship. I worked at a children's home for autistic children and one day one of the staff members brought their Dog. Two of the kids that barely socialised with anybody where in love with the dog instantly. It aint a specialy trained dog. Just a mixed breed family dog but something clicked. You could just feel it. It was very beautiful to see.

Awww this is so touching...you see, my brother who is 10 now, has a dog too. It's a family dog but mostly for Joel (my brother) and his disabilities, which is autism like this boy in this video. He still remain, not being able to talk and being his 11 year old sister...I have to look after him a lot more...like, dressing him...helping him go to the bathroom. And yeah, you think it's disgusting but really, it's what I have to do....we don't know when he will be able to talk...but having our dog, Briar (named after the rose), changed everything! Briar helps Joel so much and Joel loves her so much it's just touching watching them play together....

I've seen it many times on video but recently I saw it for my self. I was giving some furniture to a girl who had a son with special needs. He was 3.5 but on a 2.5 yr level. She brought him out to meet my golden/lab/pit mix.( he adopts kids when he sees them) Karl my dog is mellow but you know how wound up the labs get when a ball is introduced. At 2.5 yrs old Karl toned it down when he brought the boy the ball. Over and over, time and time again he was so gentle but persistent. The little boy danced around and squealed. The mom said he was hardly ever that animated. It was wonderful to watch.Having trouble seeing through my tears.

I have an autistic grandson and he got to witness my dog having puppies. There was one, u he only one that was black and white of which he immediately picked out and said "she is mine"! He named her Lucy, when asked why, he said because he always wants to say "Lucy, im home" lol! like the video my grandson and his dog Lucy were inseparable. Since then Lucy has passed on and my grandson all grown up has a job in a pet store that although does not sell puppies or kittens, he loves and excels at the work and now can interact with the public. Lucy definitely made an impact on his life and she lives in our hearts everyday!

My sweet Sophia of 19.5 years passed away 08-25-21. My 8 year old son, who is autistic, never showed Sophia a lot of attention. So I thought. It's been over a year and he still asks for her and says he dreams about Sophia. My wife told me that on her last year of life my son would spend time with her and help her whenever she needed help. I didn't see it as much because of my long work hours. He wants another dog but our home is not suitable for a dog. We are working to get the right home hopefully by next year so my son can have his dog.

I'm so glad that the dad had to eat his words 'cause it's bad attitudes towards pit bulls that really hurt this breed...when in actuality, pit bulls are phenomenally kind, patient, compassionate, loving, and most importantly, empathetic dogs. And that empathy clearly shone through with their son...and I'm glad that the mom pushed through with the adoption 'cause that woman just saw a dog in need, not a pit bull, just an abused dog who deserved the love that she and her family could offer. 😍🐶

That dog is a pit bull mix, obviously. That said, Pit bulls are the most delightful dogs in the world. They have extraordinary bonding qualities. Tragically, evil people who weaponize pits have created a misunderstanding about them. They are powerful and being terriers, they are lively. Given the right owners, they are not any kind of threat, but given malevolent owners, they can be very dangerous.
