Garrett is nine years old and diagnosed with autism. Garrett's sensory system is triggered by cars so he would often run into the street. When Garrett received his Autism Service Dog from Tender Loving Canines, Ruby has prevented him from running off. Garrett is tethered to Ruby's vest and holds onto the handle, which has eased his family's mind and keeps Garrett out of harm's way. Since Garrett received his service dog, Ruby has opened up the entire family's life to being able to function as a unit in public.
Tender Loving Canines is a volunteer base non-profit organization.

Goldens are fantastic dogs. My friend has one, Lucy. She's my buddy. I've known her since she was a pup. She's 10 now. I'm so glad that family found some help for Garrett. Ruby is a dollbaby.
My dog and cats are so important to me. I can not imagine what life will be like without them.
Aw, what a beautiful story. That looks like an amazing family and I can't even imagine how hard it must be day to day for them. Ruby and Garrett are adorable together, I hope she's with him for years and years.
This dog is an angel
Yes. I have read about dogs like Ruby quite some time ago- they are EXTRAORDINARY. Dog and boy, BFF....!
