Getting a service dog soon.

[Leto729]

Looking at traveling to Las Vegas NV or putting the dog on a airplane. It might cheaper to put the dog on airplane cargo hold. Not yet sure which is the best way to get dog here to Rapid City SD.

To help with your Autsim? (if your autistic cause most people are at this joint)
I heard their are dogs specially for that. They can be trained to sense outbursts.

Then what do they do after that?

Bite you to give you something to really have a meltdown about?

I'd prefer it if there were biting the people who where stressing me out, that'd be cool to watch.

I wish my big dog would qualify but he's a little jumpy around people.  My dogs are one of the few things I want around when I am freaking out they have a very calming affect

It for My depression and seasonal affective disorder I have during the winter.

This should help depression and SAD quite a bit, Kevv!

I hope it works out well for you.

And how does a dog help you with that?


I don't understand how a service dog works for someone with depression and SAD, especially for someone with high functioning autism or AS. But I can understand how it works for an elderly, a blind person, a deaf person and someone who is in a wheel chair.

Any dog would be a beneficial companion to a depressed person.

A dog which has been trained to respect certain boundaries could be a very good friend for an autistic with depression.

Still, a human companion can be better. Or is Kevv using extended metaphor here?

I think a good dog would be more loyal and more importantly, more consistent than a human companion.

And I'm not even a dog person. Maybe I just haven't met the right dog for a person like me. I don't like dogs that lick, jump on you or put their paws on you in any fashion.

I believe the preferred nomenclature is woman, not dog!
