Several months ago when my wife and I were walking to the Labor Day WEBN fireworks she mentioned the possibility of getting a dog for my son. She read somewhere that a calm companion dog can be very beneficial for little children who have autism. I said it does not sound like a bad idea. We have not talked about it since. She walked in today with an English labrador. I asked her what she was thinking and she said “We talked about it and you said it’s not a bad idea.”

Love the blocky heads of English Labs.

Is the OP about MY Son or My Wife? :confused:

 

I think I'll say to my wife, "Buying me a motorcycle is not a bad idea." I'll let you know what happens.

That is awesome! Let us know how your son is with the dog.

Dogs are the best! Not familiar with your breed, but have had several dogs in my lifetime. Most love you unconditionally and conform to you own family lifestyle. I am sure you will fall in love with your new family member. Keep us up to date.

Where's the picture?

I have two autistic nephews, and both had service dogs from 4 Paws. Those dogs made a tremendous difference in their lives.

I have an English Lab that I picked up on January 2nd. Very happy with her thus far.

I can't figure out how to post a picture in a thread.
