Dogs always seem to have a loving, calming effect on humans. That's why dogs are used for therapy during disasters, for medical reasons, and more. Sometimes, they don't even have to be trained to be gentle and have a calming effect on people.

It seems that kids with special needs and down syndrome are some of the happiest kids in the world. To them, what they go through is normal, it's their life. But even though they may get down sometimes, it isn't something a cute dog can't fix.
