Autistic children and dogs

Check out this story that ran in the Lexington Herald-Leader about a week ago. It really touched me.

It's about a little autistic boy named Michael. His parents have brought in a black lab named Mercury who's being trained to help their son - to protect him and serve as a companion.

It looks like Michael and Mercury are still learning to work with each other. It'd be interesting to read an update on this in a year or two...
