@jjshoward
how old is your son?
difference between animals and us : they don’t judge? as human, we have lots of to learn

i had 1 before… he passed away.. took me more than 3 months to recover from my sadness.. T,T
Thanks
this isn’t a lab

aw this is beautiful, my brother has Aspergers syndrome and animals always make him happy. They are amazing.
A touching video. I have two Golden Retrievers and they are the most loving dogs I’ll have ever owned. Labrador Retrievers are a totally separate breed by the way; they are smooth coated.
labs are the most friendly dogs you can find ..i had mine 10 years and its never bitten anybody ..its rare it even growls ..very loving animals ..ok when they are pups they are soo energetic but they are good dogs
My son has autism and I cant belive that someone would post a video named Hot-autistic on this web site, I dont’ think that the person who did is sick in the head and this video should be removed from this website.
this is such a great story
Golden Labrador Retriever? He’s a golden retriever
no labrador in his name
Dale’s graduated from high school! And has a little sister, also autistic, but less severe than Dale.
How old is he now?I am intrested in him bcoz my son also autism with 6 years old but can’t speak,,needs help,,,,,,
Such a happy ending!!!
