[quote=Anonymous]Our kids are begging us to get a dog. I was never a pet person but am starting to warm to the idea. Our oldest, DS 13, has Aspergers and accompanying social challenges. It occurs to me that the companionship of a dog could be beneficial to him, but I also wouldn't want him to just hang out with the dog instead of seeking social opportunities with peers. Wondering about viewpoints of having a dog in this circumstance, and if there are particular small dog breeds that are recommended. Thanks in advance![/quote]
