GSD watches over child with Autism - Page 1

I came across this article  today and thought it would be nice to share. It never seams to amaze me what a dog can do.

that is a great story....

GSD's are the best for any kind of work.

Wonderful story...and what we have come to expect from the "bestest" breed. :-)

My daughter has a female GSD and while she was in college she took care of a child with Autism, her female did really well with him. Especially since we thought  the dog herself had OCD, she wanted everything in it's place. Once she was in a parking lot a few times,  she would get upset if the cars were not in the right spot, Rocks in a park, if you moved furniture, she would have fit until you put it back the way it was. With the little boy, she just had patience and it was ok if he did not understand the rules of throwing the ball or how to play other games, she would just go along. Now if it was us that did not get the rules of the game she would throw a tantum. Her female has since given up on strict order in her life.

Wait a minute does the dog have a e-colar on?
