Animal Planet's 'Groomer Has It' Helps "Teddy" Find a New Home with C.J., a boy who is Autistic

Maizie's favorite show is Groomer Has It on Animal Planet. Top Groomers compete to win a grand prize of cash and their own mobile grooming van.

Maizie talks about the groomers and guesses who will be voted off each week. Her favorite part is when they have a grooming competition and she gets to see them care for the various breeds.

We were especially tickled with the show this week when the challenge was grooming and then finding homes for dogs at a local shelter.

Artist, who is Maizie's favorite groomer picked out a pitiful looking dog named Teddy. He was so terribly matted he could barely move. The other groomers had decided against Teddy because he would have required too much work with little hope of being adopted out due to his eventual appearance.

Artist, being the most giving and selfless person I have seen in a long time was determined to give little Teddy a chance. A new start. Teddy was bathed and due to the extensive matting Artist needed to shave Teddy's fur off. Teddy had to wear an Elizabethan collar to keep him from digging at his irritated skin. Once the fur grew back the collar would be removed. But, until then he looked a tad pitiful when being shown to potential doggie owners.

Sadly, Teddy was not adopted out immediately. The show surprised us by sharing wonderful news. Four months later Teddy was adopted into a happy home with a little boy named C.J.

Teddy is a lucky dog who found love in the arms of a child with Autism. Enjoy the sixty second clip. It is quite touching.

Dogs bring so much joy to our lives. Does your child have a special pet in his or her life?
