When we tell you that humanity would be lost without dogs, we are not exaggerating. Dogs are so adorable and precious, and they bring so much joy and unconditional love into people's lives that we cannot help but connect with them fast and hard. And that is true for all of us. Even the ones of us who have a harder time connecting with others have a good chance of connecting with dogs, and that is exactly what today's story proves.

This isn't the first time we have heard about autistic children connecting with dogs, but it might be one of the most wholesome. Dogs seem to have a special way with autistic kids, helping these them come out of their shell, bringing them the same kind of joy and love as they do to everyone - making them laugh while they can't say a single word to others. Seriously, bring out the tissues, you're going to need them.

Yet another piece of proof that dogs are one of the best things that have ever happened to humanity. And it's easy to understand why someone like this girl might have an easier time connecting with them - dogs' love is unconditional. You smile at them, they'll smile at you. It doesn't take much.

This isn't the first time we're reading a story like this, and the comments under this one were full of similar stories as well. We recommend dogs to anyone who has a hard time connecting with people - another happy dog and another happy human, what could be better?
