Linda – The Probiotics Tooth Fairy

According to a new Université de Montreal study, specifically trained service dogs can help reduce the anxiety and enhance the socialization skills of children with ASDs. These findings, published in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology , may be a relatively simple solution to help affected children and their families cope with these challenging disorders.

On this Independence Day, we express our gratitude for both those who have fought to secure our independence and for those who continue to fight. We are also grateful for the canine companions both in the war zones and helping our heroes heal.

Because of the vital role they play, you will see service dogs allowed in all types of setting where pets would be prohibited like on airplanes, in restaurants, the movies even in the post office. These amazing dogs allow their handlers to enjoy an increased level of independence because of the service they render.

While they seldom make the news, service dogs – service heroes, really – are all around us, whether you realize it or not. Service heroes help the physically disabled; they assist the military and many police forces; they visit those in hospital and nursing home residents; they even assist those whose conditions can be invisible.
