If you're a parent with a child who has Autism, you know how difficult life can be. When 8-year-old Conor Corrigan went to school in the past, even the smallest tasks were extremely challenging. Autism makes life very difficult for Conor and his family. He has a great deal of trouble communicating and would often have tantrums when dealing with these challenges…

…That was until Conor's parents brought a service dog named Peyton into their son's life. Peyton is a friendly poodle who helps Conor interact with his classmates and teachers, something that was extremely difficult before. The dog helps Conor calm down under stress. Conor's family hopes his story can help other children with special needs, and their families. If you think therapy dogs do amazing, important work, please SHARE this story with others!
