Reddit user Writer Geek decided to share photos of his son, together with the little boy’s adoring companion Tucker, on the popular site yesterday.
The two go everywhere together and service dog Tucker looks after Writer Geek’s autistic son.

Autism service dogs provide a sense of security and they can help keep children calm in new situations.
Anyone with a pet dog will know their capacity for unconditional love and the unique bond between a dog and its owner.

However, these pictures of golden labrador Tucker and his little charge are very special indeed.
