Watch Healing Power of Pets: Family finds comfort in service dog Video Online From The Pet Collective
Unable to go out as a family, the Tingham family took their autistic son, Garrett, out into the city. Thanks to their new service dog, Ruby, the family and Garrett are comfortable outside of the home.

Garrett’s sensory system is triggered by cars, so he would often run out into the street. When Garrett adopted an autism service dog from Tender Loving Canines, Ruby stopped him from running away. With Garrett tethered to Ruby’s vest and behind the wheel, the family was able to feel at ease and protect Garrett from danger. Since Garrett got his service dog, Ruby has opened up the entire family’s life to function as one unit in public spaces. Tender Loving Canines is a volunteer-based nonprofit organization.
