They are also known to help the child develop communication skills. The familyhave set up a donations page at www.gofundme.com/servicedogforkyle and have organised an alternative race night at the Royal British Legion on April 18. Tickets are £5. See the Facebook page “Autism Service Dog for Kyle” for more details - the family have also just confirmed they will be holding a “Monster’s Ball” in the Crowwood Hotel on Halloween.
