Hi! My name is Christopher and this is Isaiah my comfort dog. I am sure you are wondering what a comfort dog is, what he does and why I need one? Well by the time you finish reading this book those questions will be answered.

I need a comfort dog because I have Autism. The easiest way to explain Autism is that I have a different way of seeing the world. Sometimes I might even feel uncomfortable talking in front of a bunch of people. I can get frustrated with that and that can cause me to get really sad.

Before I explain what a comfort dog is there is one important rule for Isaiah. He can not be touched by any other kid besides me. This is kind of a job for Isaiah. He can not be distracted from his most important duty which is watching me.

Say HI again to Isaiah. So what is a comfort dog. Well a comfort dog is an animal that provides support and comfort to kids or adults that may be different like me. He might be wearing doggy clothing that would let you know that he is a comfort dog or a therapeutic dog.
