I just saw this special on PBS and loved it! It shows some pooches helping their communities, as well as what went in to training them. Stories like that always make me happy!

If you have a child with serious special needs that make you concerned about his/her safety and independence watch this video. We dog lovers already recognize the unique gift we receive when we share our lives with dogs, but this video (esp. the section with the autistic child) will demonstrate that this human-canine bond can actually change lives. The other footage is also remarkable, even if you're not a dog lover!

This video has some great stories to tell about a number of wonderful canines. I have watched this video about 6-7 times and always enjoy it. Children seem to love it.

I loved this movie especially the part with the Autistic boy, Service Dogs are so wonderful. Not many people know how truely wonderful these special dogs are, I am willing to help disabled people find their special Service Dog. [...]

This quality PBS Home Video has inspiring stories about unforgettable working dogs who transform the lives of the people they love. This video is warm, moving and entertaining for the whole family. It is well worth the cost of purchase or the time for a trip to the library.

You will meet intelligent border collies who herd over 1000 sheep on a farm and are truly irreplaceable in the management of the farm. Maggie, a chocolate lab, opens the world for an autistic nine-year-old boy. A beautiful golder retriever has been trained to assist a person who has been having unexpected epileptic seisures. Totally unexpected, this dog can even anticipate and sense a seisure a few minutes before it occurs warning the person and helping that person to a safe location.

In all of the stories of the working dogs and of the people that they serve you will see wonderful love and loyalty between the people and their dogs. The running time is about 80 minutes. You will learn if you do not already know that dogs are truly man's best friends.
