| Not dog related, but still very touching I loved reading this touching story by the mother of a thirteen year old boy with autism spectrum disorder. It is called To Siri With Love. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/19/fa...-boys-bff.html

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Awwww, what an incredibly sweet story! And how unexpected that something like Siri could have this kind of wonderful effect on someone. Loved it.

| Thanks, Ann. I knew that, if you read this, you would love it too. I keep going back to it and rereading this, and it has really warmed my heart. As a special educator, I love all of the different populations of kids I've worked with over the span of thirty five years, but there is something that really draws me to students who are on the spectrum. I'm always amazed and entertained at what Siri can do, but accomplishing this is just so incredible to me.

| Very sweet and interesting. My neighbor's daughter is autistic and loves her Apple gadgets too.
