Re: CBS 3 part series Part 2- Candy the dog

[Guest guest]

maybe they'll do a tv series now-instead of Lassie-we give you Candy. PS TV audiences porbably like simple answers to complex problems-and so do tv reporters and producers.andrea52521991 <mkeller@...> wrote: Tonight's segment was on a boy with Aspberger's who uses an assistance dog named Candy. Candy has been with this boy for about a year and since the dog is in the picture the boy no longer has "meltdowns' or outbursts".They were sure to mention that no research has been done to prove the effectvieness of assistance dogs. The boy also enters the dog in dog obstacle course shows (sorry missed whatthey were called). "Typically an actvity for middle aged women". The dog never finished the course but happened to on that day. He even got first place and a blue

ribbon.Excellent TV! The boy was extremely verbal and very functional.

How low will we go? Check out Messenger’s low PC-to-Phone call rates.
