I would be inclined to purchase a Firearm and carry it when you walk your dog , as next time it could be a Pit Bull and it would be the only way of stopping serious injury to yourself or the death of your dog.

Once again, this is due to the constant barrage of chemically exuding plastics that are part of practically everything we come in contact with in this modern world. The exposure to which, is particularly dangerous to the very young, especially boys.

I always carry pepper spray when I walk my dogs, the kind the post office uses in the red and blue can (available on Amazon). I've only ever had to drop one aggressive dog and it worked like butter.

Sarah you are doing a great service. I pray more people will listen and read. Very lamentable times and getting more so by the day.

Thanks for this insightful post, Sarah. Setting aside this sad exploitation and “evil of modernity,” there are two things I have learned about those with autism: First, all children are gifted and all children have special needs, and secondly, to use “people first” language - that is “…a child with autism “ vs. “…an autistic child.” Both reflect the keystone of Catholic Social Teaching - dignity of the human person - something totally ignored by the exploiters.
