Righteous Pups Australia

Kadnook Kennel ( http://www.kadnook.com/ ) has been a very important part of this organization, the only one of its kind in Australia.  I visited them while there and saw Jill’s mother and 3 of Puck’s litter-mates.  All the dogs I saw there were from Kadnook.  I was given a demonstration of their training and surprised to learn that tracking was a very important part.  Many autistic children are attracted to water, it’s very important to locate them quickly if they go missing from their home.  These dogs are trained to help the parents find then quickly.  A radio station in Melbourne were reporting a missing autistic boy while we were driving toward Righteous Pups. A camera man and a reporter found him in the water and brought him to safety, just in time.
