For the love of animals. Pass it on.
As an autistic person I think I can kinda explain the pressure thing. A lot of autistic people find non-human pressure applied to them to be calming ( unless it's too restrain them in some way ), I myself I like thick blankets as do other autistic people. I like to use them even in the summer but have to take it off at some point as it gets to hot. Having pressure on you is sorta like a hug, except we don't really like to be hugged, so having pressure put on us is a good replacement. It's comforting and calming. Hugs from people just aren't like that, they feel uncomfortable. Don't ask me why they just do. I've reached a point where I'm somewhat okay with hugs and some people don't ever reach that point and that's okay. I don't have nightmares but I feel like I sleep easier when I have my dog daisy snuggling with me.
Thanks for sharing your story DragonofEpics! Daisy sounds like the perfect pup for you!
Thank you, Dragon, for your post. Dogs are such fabulous creatures and you are lucky to have a Daisy to snuggle with. I adore dogs but work full time and can't afford a dog walker. When I retire I will get one. Thanks again for the explanations you gave--and for letting us know what your world is like. Best to you and Daisy. And NO hug from me, though one from my lovely cat, Talia...
I love all animals. I do believe they are better than we are and they make the world so beautiful. My current best friend is a tortoiseshell cat girl named Talia, who came from a shelter. Before Talia, I had Panther for 16 years, Isis for 10 and Panther's sister, Pearl, alas for only 3 years. All marvelous, marvelous creatures that I have adored and adore, and am so very grateful for. Thank you, The Dodo, for your wonderful TH-cam site!
DragonofEpics Yes, I think it's a stress thing that becomes habitual for a variety of people, even without Austism. I myself like to feel pressure on some areas. The thick blankets aswell, for the feel. Also, when my dogs sandwich me before bed (especially on my back) I feel at ease and very...safe I suppose?
Whenever someone ask to think of something that relaxes me, I *always* think of that pressure and warmth my dog puts on my back. Nothing else compares! =)
Was just about to comment the same thing as I'm autistic also, I have a gloves that have sand imbetween each layer of fabric to make weighted gloves and also I have a pressured blanket which I can change the pressure on from 5 pounds to 25 pounds which is normally what I have it on...I think it's due to Autistic children having high sensitivity and different pain tolerance...Some people have low pain toll and some have high pain toll (me)
That means I get really easily bruised from pinches and flicks but I never get bruised/hurt from a punch...it reverses the pain tolerance of a normal person, Like it wouldn't hurt if someone flicked you but to me it hurts like heck!
What a wonderful friendship between the boy and dog.
808steveA eventually the dog is going to die lol
+Broken Goku
Bitch SHUT UP
808steveA true
Ghostly Kid welp the dog is gonna die some day and that kid will be ruined like look at the future lol
he's is right though unless either that dog is supernatural or that kid dies extremely young the dogs going first. hopefully by then he ready for his cruch to be kicked out from under him
I GAVE MY DOG AWAY TO MY NEIGHBORS WHO KIDS HAD AUTISM,THE KIDS NEVER LEFT THE HOUSE ONLY STAYED IN THERE ROOM,WHEN THEY GOT THE DOG THEY PLAYED WITH THE FOR HOURS OUTSIDE,WAS A MIRACLE , THE PARENTS TOLD ME THE DOG CHANGED THESE KIDS LIFE , I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT
you did the right thing. What breed was he/she?
#capslock lol
Thank God!
robbwood1 I had my dog trained to be a therapy dog and lots of the people in the hospitals we visit say my dog changed their kids lives and I'm so happy my dog can make everyone happy, not just me
robbwood1 the world needs more people like you
I would like to start off how wonderful it is to hear how this animal helps this young boy. I am a veteran with severe PTSD, and the loss of 60%of my lung capacity. Last year I was lucky enough to be matched with a service dog , Skylar my special buddy is a life saver. Skylar has helped with nightmares , comfort and I see the same mannerisms in Skylar as I saw here with Lego. These are not just a pet as some would think , these animals work 24, 7 ,365 they become a integral part of the family unit. I was a shut in before him , I was afraid of society. .always afraid something would happen or someone was going to get me.
SKYLAR has my back all the time he sleeps with me , watches me shower , eates beside me and takes care of his business with commands only. They lady who trained him also trains dogs for autistic children. .. all her dogs respond to both verbal and hand commands. A year later I can not imagine my life without him , I am blessed that he chose me to be his friend and companion , there is no master in our relationship , only love and devotion to a common goal , care for each other and respect . The cost of these animals are costly for the family's , depending on what the animal has been trained for some run as much as 10,000 dollars and more.
I ask that all who read this and read this far please help the organization's that offer the services or training and fund me pages car washes or whatever to please help, before Skylar I did not understand , now I do and help educate those who truly want to know and help those who need these wonderful companions... to please help the family's. Thank you
Pushing positivity your way. Have a fantastic weekend!
Where's the fan so I can push it blow it away?
@hussain ali That's the best dog ever right there You beautiful people.Dogs are one of best ways to become better
Jesus is the Greatest The Almighty the one who lives and protects us.
But beautiful people and outhers are in the direction marching to Heaven.
Dogs are angels in disquise lol
Johnny DiedForOur Sins
Yes dogs are Angles,
You mean Jesus died for our sins.✌😉
+Sophia Duarte Google: Johnny Sins
Except that one time I was bit in the fucking ass by a Rottweiler while minding my own.
SIX PATHS OROCHIMARU 😂😂😂 this made my day
SIX PATHS OROCHIMARU ( ° ͜ʖ °) Sounds hot
Listen?!! This is just one of the many things that dogs are capable of to help humans emotionally, physically, companions or drug sniffing life saving miracles! The perfect animal to teach mankind how to respect, love and treat each other!
Lee Clements not all dogs are total sweeties just like humans
Lee Clements I agree! It really is incredible what guide dogs can do. They help the blind, the autistic, the recovering, the schizophrenic community and probably way more. It's amazing how helpful dogs can be #dogpersonforlife
Wendell Hayes take that back it's cause some people treat dogs bad that's why they are means but they are actually nice it's cause people mostly abuse pit bulls and other kind of dogs.
@@audreyneal6168Guide dogs ONLY help the blind.
So many negative nellies worrying about when the dog passes. It's going to happen.. to all of us. The boy will be older then and realize that this is the circle of life. Yes he will be heartbroken. Why not just Rejoice in their beautiful love and relationship and how lucky they are to have each other?
Dogs/animals live in the moment.. they don't worry about what could happen in the future.
Humans should learn this valuable lesson. They would enjoy their lives like this dog does.
Similar to, but still different than, seeing eye dogs as well for those with limitations to vision...I once counseled someone whose onset of depression stemmed from the pending death of her dog (he was around 12 and unable to walk more than a few steps at a time) and not just losing what she felt was her livelihood but having to adjust her whole daily routine until she was paired with and could train a new dog...it was all VERY eye opening! Dogs are one of the most precious beings in life!!
I think a lot of people say this but, instead of focusing on the time you'll no longer have with them, focus on the time you did have with them
Tupper and Lego need each other. So they can both be happy forever!!!
Ruby ! it won't be forever
ChrisToeFur long enough
No mine is more important
It's definitely an autistic thing to be comforted by pressure. I'm autistic, and I sleep FAR better in the winter, because I can pile tons of thick blankets on myself, and the pressure helps me conk out within minutes, as well as just feel more comfortable and secure in general. In the summer, even when it's boiling, I still try to force myself to sleep with a sheet, because I just can't sleep without some kind of cover over me. I really need a weighted sheet or something, lmao.
Megan Wilson just so you know, you can get weighted blankets which are specifically for autism, which can be worn even in heat. They are just a small amount of fabric, but they have weights to give you that pressure!
I agree. My brother says "it is too cold" even in other months when it is not cold at all. He loved to have blankets stacked on him although when it's too humid he doesn't like blankets much haha
Megan Wilson I don't have autism (at least I think so...) but I love to do the same thing!! It feels nice to be "hugged" by a blanket of some sort haha
Mr. Poopy Butthole LMFAOOOOOO
and another person who deserves nothing but hell for the rest of their life because they can't show respect.
What a beautiful bond, which will be even greater as they grow together ❤️❤️❤️
They don't say a dog is a humans best friend for nothing.
Larry TheLobster He's a human... you can make your little "funny" jokes, yet doesn't change the scientifically fact that he has the characteristics that every other human has. Nor is he an animal or alien, which further more proves my point. People with disabilities are no less human. Would you call someone who is bald non human? Because they don't grow hair unlike most others?
AtheismDies calm down it's just an edgy meme
Shremeant Well no sh*t it was a meme. What do you take me for a moron? There's a time and place for everything, and making a "meme" on a kid with serious problems was cruel, hope you agree on that at least. -_-
AtheismDies depends on how edgy you are, normie
AtheismDies it's man's best friend
Dogs are mans(boys)best friend!!
Julie Earle Dogs are people's best friend.
ShinedownX01 No
Julie Earle you triggered the feminazis! You cant say man!
HavenFoxNET Hello
No,this is about the video we're watching. i was commenting on that. The little boy and the dog. in other words,man(boy) Blessings
Deus vult I am aware of the common saying. It is the feeling of some that if we do not learn to include both genders in our speech, we might not include all genders in our actions, and that what we frequently say tends to somewhat brainwash us. Using he, she, him and her are left over from a time when placing women in a secondary position was acceptable. Come into the 21st century, include everyone in your speech patterns. Help make everyone count.
these beautiful Angels(dog) are the greatest gift man has got from nature..😍😍😍😍just love to see the kid is really happy and healthy.
take care.
I know that service dogs are trained to do certain actions, but it never ceases to amaze me that when they come into a family setting, even if one or two children are getting a bit overexcited, they know that it's the other kid (or an adult) who needs their help. The dog has got to be willing to learn what their new buddy needs, and then act upon it. It's incredible!
Dogs are the solution to every problem on earth.......
Shiladitya Ray But why are the Chinese people eating them😫
devon michaels because they are evil.
devon michaels That's part of their culture...... Nothing more can be said about that.....
devon michaels It's culture, in parts of Asia they believe that eating cows is bad, they can say the same to you.
Freaky Behavior that isn't a problem, its a blessing
service dogs are so so important
Dogs are gods gifts to us all,we never know when we might need one,this little boy just loves his gift,he's a beautiful dog.
Agnes Mahon "god" didn't "create" dogs... We bred them from wolves then selectively bred them into individual breeds.
Jessop u r the most annoying human being on the planet
Swim 4 life Rao what he said was factual tho dogs were domesticated. They were hunters before being domesticated.
We don't deserve to be loved by dogs😂❤ they're just too gentle and perfect
kaship98
They taste good
kaship98 Cows have not been domesticated over thousands of years to be the perfect companion. Cows have been domesticated to feed us.
Oh no, how did a vegan end up here? We're talking about dogs, dipshit. Also, refer to Shadow Bunny's comment to educate yourself on why we eat cows
aww, i didn't sign for this feel trip:')
Pam Pam Imagine the dog getting hit by a car
Ethan Lang not a very good trait to have boy.
Ethan Lang lmao
LJ Rayburn Ouchie
Aidan Smith yeah u said that already...
A boy and his dog... absolutely timeless companionship. 😄
God bless both of them.
what did we do to deserve dogs... and what did dogs do receive a cruel world... but there is also very good people to dogs and animals too....
we did nothing to receive them in the first place, we are lucky god does not take them away from us instantly.
Although my boy was not registered he was seriously the best dog ever words also can not express the relationship between my child and my Saint. He loved my son like his family. He protected him, guided him, and was his best friend! Again he was not registered but might as well have been... Wherever we took him and my kid was there he was always by his side. We miss you so much big boy i hope we get to see u again someday!! 😭😭😭🙏🕊️
There is NO such thing as a registered service dog, registration does not exist
I have seizures and ptsd, my dogs help me through both.. they can tell when I'm going down , or going to have a panic attack, they lay on me until it's over. They protect me, and comfort me. They love us unconditionally.
Love you lego
So emotional, so heartwarming. Bless this child and his best friend. Their bond is incredible. Dogs are man's and child's best friends!
Two precious souls, I’m literally crying tears of happiness ♡
Tupper is an amazing young man ! It’s amazing how happy animals make us
God bless service dogs! and what a cute name! "lego"
Nova Love All dogs*
Crested Gecko in this particular comment, I'm talking about service dogs because of the role Lego plays in this little boy's life. This is not an "all dogs" moment.

Nova Love all dogs do this tho
Dogs and kids,the only 2 things on this earth that show absolutely unconditional love.
Jon Williams nope there is also God
It is nice to see that this boy has benefited from having a dog in his life and it has taken some of the stress he felt out of his life. Good luck to you both.
dogs are the biggest blessings ever
they domesticate us .
Phillip Lopez but is that such a bad thing. I mean they formed a mutual relationship between each over he can't go on without the dog and the dog can't go on without him which is not a bad thing... I am more worried about what happens when the dog dies.
Ham Cheese Is it really any different than any of our relationships with those we love? We can lose them anytime.
kaship98 No not less special just part of the food chain your welcome to eat your dog if you want to.
kaship98 you must hate wolves and other"animals" that eat meat.idiot
TheDieselbutterfly no i love animals especially wolves but some taste pretty damn good u cant beat a bacon cheese burger yum
sweetness alert! this is the best thing i've seen today. so glad things are better for your son. blessings to your family. peace.
This was the sweetest thing I've seen all day ^^ I'm glad these two have each other.
So beautiful. I love dogs so much! We should be so grateful to have them among us. Thank you for posting!
This is way too cute 😩

There's no greater loyalty than that of a dog.
Dogs are the only family alot of old people have. They are great company for young and old alike my mum died a few years ago six months after her beloved dog scrap died. She never was the same form that day on. I know she gave up and died from a broken heart. That's how important dog's are in alot of people's lives
Excellent video, so beautiful!
Damn.. ninja cutting onions
Serhan Aktas HAHAHA
Serhan Aktas there in the basement I got the kittens
It seems I have done my job
The invisible onion cutting ninja Ok, ninja, people like you is the reason why I love the internet.
guess the onions got revenge!
What a blessing! Such a sweet bond.
This warms my heart to see how great the 2 together get along . GOD BLESS
I am happy I found this channel... now when I am emotional on TH-cam, its not because people are filled with hate, but I am reminded of the love we humans have and can have if we choose to. Thank you.
Thanks Marie! Have an AWESOME day!
you're welcome, same to you!
awww... Thank you, The Dodo, for making these wonderful, wonderfully touching and life-affirming videos. Thank you!
Flo K. I have no emotion towards this
a dog really is man's best friend....and a very special friend to that little chap.
It's amazing what can happen when unconditional love is shared.
God damn it.
This made me cry a little
I’m not crying - My eyes are just sweating.
Dogs can help anyone in any situation. ...man's best friend !!
Dogs are such a comfort for every human being . I think its wonderful that they are being used now for this type of therapy
our four legged angels on earth! 💚🐕
His name is Lego
👌🏻
What a wonderful message. I'm so happy for the boy and the dog who have found each other and become friends.
The power of an animal! They're doing what they naturally do. LOVE! Plus the extra training Lego got to help Tupper. God bless that precious child! The bond they formed is so heartwarming! 🐶❤👦
this just made me cry
Boy shut yo sensitive ass up
never mind I just cried
I didn't, I deal with this everyday. You get used to it.
😂😂😂😂😂
Jessop
LOL!
awwwww this is so cute 😭😍💗💗
This is so touching. What a beautiful relationship they have.
Dogs are the most beautiful, loving animals on this planet. They are some of the best things to happen to us as humans. They provide so much unconditional love and understanding, without being asked to. I'm in awe over how Lego's presence is enough to make him smile. I hope Tupper continues to grow happy and as healthy as he can be with such an awesome friend by his side. ❤️🐶
Just goes to show what animals can and do do for humans.
The least we should do is treat them with respect.
I was heartbroken when my dog died. I can't even begin to imagine what this little boy will feel....
me too :(
I am Tupper and legos older sister we have thought about that and we do have a plan for when that time comes. Thanks for your concern :)
Is lego gonna have babies? and are you going to keep one or more to help Tupper?
Cindy Esterhuyse lol it will be so funny
I cryed so hard after this video.Im so Happy for that little boy and his family!
Thank you for sharing. They both look extremely happy loving each other. This brought a smile to my face.
They should have called this story: Tupper and the Pupper.
LittleSkateyPlays did you know Pupper means tits in Norwegian?
Patchwork The Dragon Awesome
gonna be a sad sad day when the dog passes away. hey i just rhymed
Emily Olsen when's your mixtape dropping
Emily Olsen that was my first thought!
Jupitrean Music lmao
yeah its sad so it good to make the most of it
The dog will "get lost" as the parents pit it
Aww. This video is so heart warming and beautiful and I love it. The bond of both the dog and the boy is so strong and it shows.
As long as there are videos like this where people and their friends and pets are happy, then I'm happy. That's the way it should be.
This video deserves more views, great friendship between them.
que escena tan divertida...
el perrito en el sillón y el niño sentado en el suelo...
😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Animals are amazing.
What a sweet, beautiful little boy. I'm glad that he and Lego have eachother.
Awesome.......this will change the way we treat these children.....
A massive game changer.....well done.
😃 I like this video. Dog and kid look adorable together🐕🐶
I wish the dog could live until Tupper's Lifetime. I'm worried what will happen when Tupper misses Lego after 15years or so. God give this Dog a Human Life time.
anten edilbert That won't happen, its physically impossible. These types of dogs live around 10-14 years, and that doesn't include the hip/leg problems these dogs are prone to. There are exceptions, but they are due to the dogs genetics.
That's Beautiful And It Really Will Help With This Young Boys Growth
Watching dogs helping people makes me a better person
God bless them both
chachi luna wow surprised jessop hasn't commented on this lol... glad he ha sent I agree with this 😀
Bob Lick I WAS LITERALLY JUST THINKING THE SAME THING 😂😂😂
❤️
I can relate to having some type of pressure on me while sleeping or even have a dog comforting me.. makes sleeping easier. I have mild autism. I trust dogs more than humans. Except for my mom cause she really cares about me and tries everything just to understand me without judging me.
I wish all kids could have access to this. Such a gift ❤️
I have a dog named Lego! He's the one in my profile pic❤️❤️❤️. Can I just have only 3 likes for him since he's currently 3??
Kaitlyn Pham got you to two.... may be there's someone else who will like it 😀
Bob Lick awe tnx!
Almandine sure will!!😁
this video is awesome but who names their kid tupper
did you see her face?
Gustavo Lopez she looks like the erhmagerd lady
I guess as long as the last name isn't "Ware" it's ok...... just kidding... absolutely beautiful video. My little pup isn't a service dog but she has definitely had a positive effect on my stress and blood pressure. Dogs are the best!!
Last name = Ware
James Bone that's my mother and she has a disease called scleroderma and is part of a 3% who live past five years. You don't need to be rude
Dogs are simply the greatest gift we have ever been given.
This is so beautiful. The five years I spent working with autistic children were life changing.
great story... but be prepared dogs dont live long.... thats gonna be a MASSIVE issue
NickTheGeek yea but the kid will be older also by then
He’s gonna be depressed, if I was him I’d be depressed depends on how much fun I had with him. Butt after one week I wouldn’t care
I dont think its a mutt...White Labs are pure I believe. Yellow labs can have a mix though.
You named your kid tupper...
Veronica McCall yep thats out world now
Our* oops
fuckin tupper ware always screamin in walmart.
He was named that in memory of his grandfather who was in the navy (it was the nickname his grandfather got while in the navy)
Wow what a blessing that dog is for all of you
Tears of happiness for Tupper and family.
In case fidget spinners don't work get a dog.
Alberto Huerta woq
His buddy and he don't judge each other they just love and that is all they need.
Beautiful. So happy to see he is doing better.
He found he's best friend , awesome 🐕 both are so happy, instead banging he's head he filled with laughter!!! that's beautiful Thanks for sharing.
Who could dislike this? This is such a touching video.
my little brother, Cameron, has autism aswell. he's also a little smol bean (like about 4'0 he's 9 so that's kinda tiny)
he used to be scared of dogs, because he thought they would jump on him and bite him. But he loves our neighbor's dog, it's a golden retriever and crayon hugs it and cuddles with it at its sOOOO cuTTTEEee~
DOGS ARE REALLY MAN'S BESTFRIEND, GOD BLESS THE KID & HIS VERY CARING AND OBVIOUSLY LOVING BUDDY........................
Wow, Tupper and Lego have a very special bond together. That's a beautiful and magical bond they have.
Animals can teach us so many things but what they can not teach us is the total unconditional love that they have and the ability to sense emotions even before they are obvious to anyone else. Just their presence around the person they are caring for can calm that person.
They are so intuitive, loving, and awesome...
Happy Holidays TH-cam....
Dogs are so amazing so glad for your son and family.
Amazing dog can change our life!
Good to see the little boy with his best friend for life!
👍
