Five-year-old son Kai who has autism met his new service dog for the first time. Kai has struggled to make friends due to his inability to communicate but when she saw Kai cuddling up to golden retriever Tornado like it was natural, she couldn’t hold it together. The photo of Tornado and Kai was posted to the four paws for ability Facebook page where thousands of people have shared it.
The family is American but was in Japan where they’re training with the dog for 12 days before taking him back home with them. He’ll not only be a companion for Kai but will be able to aid in search and rescue if the boy ever goes missing. Seeing the way these two connected during their first meeting it seems unlikely they’ll ever leave each other sides.
