My little girl Maggie had a brain tumor 6 months ago. With the removal of the brain tumor, we had to teach her how to speak again.
We searched Craigslist in hope to find her a pet. Something that would stay with her always. When we found a Miniature Australian Shepherd. Red Merle. Around 6 months. The owner's daughter was just found HIGHLY allergic to dogs and they were needing to re-home her.
So we called up the family and asked the meet this little Aussie. Maggie fell in love with her, using a bit of sign language we had taught her.
Within a couple days, in Maggie's room, we could hear her saying stuff like "Your such a pretty girl" and "I love you."
Within two months, Maggie was able to speak again. All because of Lilly, our miracle Aussie.
Dogs mean a lot to us and every time Lilly walks in the room, I break down crying. Because Lilly, our Miracle Aussie, taught my daughter to speak within a couple months. The doctors were so amazed that they wanted to know about a system where they adopt dogs off Craigslist and teach them good manners and then bring them into hospital to cheer kids up.
So far, its been a HUGE success and the doctors say the kids are healing twice as fast since the dogs came.
This just proves. A Dog can help a person speak a thousand words with just a little cuddle.
