Student With Autism and His Dog Thriving at School


FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS, Ill. -- There have been no outbreaks of allergic reactions, no wild, uncontrollable children disturbed by a dog at school and no issues with the dog going to the bathroom in the school hallways.
They're all reasons a local school district cited as why a dog couldn't attend class with his young student.
However, there has been a marked decrease in behavioral problems among a number of autistic students and an incredible difference in the 6-year-old boy who brings his dog to school every day.
