[audio mp3="https://media.radiocms.net/uploads/2021/10/26132025/AutismDog_2610.mp3"][/audio] Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland are training dogs to help children with autism in their daily lives. The dogs are trained to keep the children safe when out and about, reducing the risk of 'bolting' as well as helping to promote a sense of calmness.
