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.

What a wonderful friendship between the boy and dog.

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

Dogs are angels in disquise lol

Pushing positivity your way. Have a fantastic weekend!

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

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!

Tupper and Lego need each other. So they can both be happy forever!!!

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.

They don't say a dog is a humans best friend for nothing.

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.

Dogs are mans(boys)best friend!!

Dogs are the solution to every problem on earth.......

What a beautiful bond, which will be even greater as they grow together ❤️❤️❤️

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!

We don't deserve to be loved by dogs😂❤ they're just too gentle and perfect

aww, i didn't sign for this feel trip:')

God bless both of them.

service dogs are so so important

Love you lego

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.

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.

A boy and his dog... absolutely timeless companionship. 😄

Damn.. ninja cutting onions

they domesticate us .

God bless service dogs! and what a cute name! "lego"

There's no greater loyalty than that of a dog.

They are so intuitive, loving, and awesome... Happy Holidays KZfaq....

Tupper is an amazing young man ! It’s amazing how happy animals make us

Excellent video, so beautiful!

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!! 😭😭😭🙏🕊️

a dog really is man's best friend....and a very special friend to that little chap.

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.

dogs are the biggest blessings ever

Dogs and kids,the only 2 things on this earth that show absolutely unconditional love.

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

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....

This is way too cute 😩

Dogs can help anyone in any situation. ...man's best friend !!

Watching dogs helping people makes me a better person

Animals are amazing.

I’m not crying - My eyes are just sweating.

DOGS ARE REALLY MAN'S BESTFRIEND, GOD BLESS THE KID & HIS VERY CARING AND OBVIOUSLY LOVING BUDDY........................

Awesome.......this will change the way we treat these children..... A massive game changer.....well done.

I am happy I found this channel... now when I am emotional on KZfaq, 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.

So beautiful. I love dogs so much! We should be so grateful to have them among us. Thank you for posting!

What a blessing! Such a sweet bond.

Its great to have a friend

God damn it. This made me cry a little

our four legged angels on earth! 💚🐕

Dogs are simply the greatest gift we have ever been given.

His buddy and he don't judge each other they just love and that is all they need.

this just made me cry

awww... Thank you, The Dodo, for making these wonderful, wonderfully touching and life-affirming videos. Thank you!

It's so sad that one day this amazing dog won't be here to help this amazing boy

Tears of happiness for Tupper and family.

awwwww this is so cute 😭😍💗💗

His name is Lego 👌🏻

I am autistic, and life can get hard and depressing, so It is nice to have someone by your side all the time like Lego and Tucker! Shoutout to the family!

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.

😃 I like this video. Dog and kid look adorable together🐕🐶

gonna be a sad sad day when the dog passes away. hey i just rhymed

Did I just see what I thought I saw? - gentle recognizes gentle.

Wow, Tupper and Lego have a very special bond together. That's a beautiful and magical bond they have.

I was heartbroken when my dog died. I can't even begin to imagine what this little boy will feel....

Just goes to show what animals can and do do for humans. The least we should do is treat them with respect.

Beautiful yellow lab for a beautiful child! ❤️

Bless him!!

They should have called this story: Tupper and the Pupper.

que escena tan divertida... el perrito en el sillón y el niño sentado en el suelo... 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

Wow what a blessing that dog is for all of you

A friendship thats definitely made in heaven.

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.

God bless them both

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. ❤️🐶

Pets are the best therapy besides Love and Affection.

❤️

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??

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.

At age 4 while window shopping at a pet store, my son with Autism bonded with one of the puppies. I had never seen him bond with anything or anyone! Through the tears of joy I managed to pay for our new puppy lol. Dogs seem to have super powers when it comes to helping people :)

You named your kid tupper...

this video is awesome but who names their kid tupper

So emotional, so heartwarming. Bless this child and his best friend. Their bond is incredible. Dogs are man's and child's best friends!

And this is why I want a dog

great story... but be prepared dogs dont live long.... thats gonna be a MASSIVE issue

In case fidget spinners don't work get a dog.

This is so beautiful. The five years I spent working with autistic children were life changing.

After i broke my back I picked up a little pitbull pup as a companion. She was my best friend until she passed last year from cancer. She was just so kind and caring and even loved kids. Sometimes no matter what the problem a good dog can help solve it.

This is Truely a message to all

20/10 the best most comforting boy

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~

Two precious souls, I’m literally crying tears of happiness ♡

Beautiful. So happy to see he is doing better.

How wonderful service dogs are

I love these kinds of videos. My ex son had autism.. The sweetest kid I have ever known..

this is why I love animals

its not the pressure, its the love

sweetness alert! this is the best thing i've seen today. so glad things are better for your son. blessings to your family. peace.

Omg I cried this video is so heartwarming dogs have saved us I have 2 dogs and they both lick up my tears when I cry and curl up next to me when I sleep. Dogs are amazing!

The unconditional love..
