In 2016 when he was 10 years old, Nicholas was matched with Autism Assist Dog Truly. His family wanted a dog that would help Nicholas from wandering, ease his anxiety, and comfort him at night.
Truly has been … truly amazing. Recently, Nicholas asked his mom, Paula, “When can I go to Can Do Canines and tell them how much I love Truly and how much she helps me?”
“Being a mom of a child with autism and a pediatrician, this is huge,” explains Paula. “People with autism have a hard time expressing feelings, verbalizing feelings, and a tremendously hard time talking in front of people.” Truly has not only allowed Nicholas to do all of these things, but want to do them.
“As a mom, I cannot imagine my life or my son’s life without Truly,” Paula shares. “We love Truly and we love that she has helped our son so much and in so many different ways.”
