I just loved this story and was reminded about the golden retriever in “a Friend like Henry” who had a similar dramatic effect on an autistic boy.
I have 2 golden retrievers who are great therapy dogs if you want to try out the idea.

My theory is that an animal is grounded and totally accepting; never judgemental. I should appreciate your views.
