Paw-sitive outcomes. Autistic children who need help get a new leash on life

By Lu Feiran

Xuan Xuan was diagnosed as autistic not long after his second birthday. He didn't speak, nor respond to other people. His parents learned to cope with his disability.

But when Xuan Xuan was 7, the boy's condition changed dramatically after Harry came to live with the family.

Harry is a 3-year-old black Labrador, trained at the Erxing Shanghai Guide and Assistant Dogs School to aid autistic people.
