The author laid out the many advantages to having a dog when diagnosed with autism. I will definitely be reading more about this topic.

If you are thinking about getting a dog, then this is the book for you.  The author, a veterinarian, does a thorough job of explaining the benefits of having a dog, how to obtain a dog, what different types of breeds there are, service dogs, and dealing with the death of a dog.  I love that she promotes adopting dogs from shelters rather than breeders and puppy mills.  I also love that she lists the many benefits to the reader of having a dog. I thought this book would be more about the benefits of autistic individuals having a dog but in reality it was more about the benefits of everyone having a dog.  The author does relate her own experiences having autism and growing up with dogs and how they helped her and she has a whole chapter on how dogs understand autism and the research to back it up.  Overall, this is a wonderful book for any dog lover and those looking into adopting a dog into their family.
