Kino, the Dog of the Day
Name: Kino
Age: Seven weeks old
Gender: Male Breed: Golden Retriever
Home: Netherlands
 
   Kino is my seven-week-old (full blood) Golden Retriever. Kino is a special dog is mostly because he's getting trained to be my autism assistance dog! I have a light form of autism, so my new companion will help me getting over things. It's mentally hard for me to go to the center of the city to get to the supermarket, because for some reason, unknown even to me, I tend to freak out when unexpected things happen.

    The funny thing is, that now I'm actually doing great, even in crowded areas, the only thing I need is someone around me, Kino, to keep me company, so I know I'm not all alone out there.

    Traveling on the bus or train is also hard for me for the same exact reason, so that's why I choose for my lovely dog, I always loved dogs, but at the place I lived in, pets were not allowed mostly, but after some struggle, with some help of others (the foundation that's helping me with the training and stuff.), we were able to talk to the other people, and finally I got an exception so he can stay with me.

    Kino still got a long way to learn the ropes, he'll be training for at least a year, but I'm sure and confident he will pull it off, specially if I'm there to cheer him and play with him! It's going good with him so far, he's getting the normal training, what every dog gets, like socializing, going for rides on the public transportation, the metro, train, and bus.

    We are already bound to each other, in such a way that he's crying when I leave the house, but that's normal in the beginning, and he's all happy when I get home again. He's already making life better for me every day!
