Dogs

Dogman

You can probably see where my name and avatar come from. I've kept dogs ever since I got married and we are now on our 3rd. In general, I prefer dogs to people. Most are affectionate, a small number ignore me and an even smaller number show aggression. Nearly all dogs show their intentions and are much easier to "read" than people.

My dog will approach me and other family members for affection even when we've had a bad day.

A dog that I've never met before that is very affectionate can really cheer me up when I'm low and I see several local dogs while out walking mine.

  • My grandson who is 4yrs has just had his diagnosis he is non-verbal, and does not interact with people much.

    We have a german shepherd who is 2yrs old and having 11 grandkids, he has a special bond with Nathan that is unlike his bond with any of the other kids.

    I would go as far as to say that Sonny the dog picked up on nathan's autism before we did. He is very gentle and follows him all over the house, last weekend they even played ball together(very gently) the interaction between these two bring a tear to our eyes, its so lovely to see Nathan have eye contact with Sonny and heartwarming.
