Here's
a wonderful story in today's NY Times about how dogs are helping kids cope with the aftermath of mass shootings.
This 'gift' link will get you past the paywall and into the NY Times to see all the cool pix. The link expires in 30 days but I can renew it if needed, just DM me.
Excerpts:
Quote:
To heal after a mass shooting, the Covenant School families have turned to therapy, faith, one another — and a lot of dogs.
In the year since Tennessee’s worst school shooting, in which three third-graders and three staff members were killed by a former student, more than 40 dogs have been taken in by families at Covenant, a small Christian school of about 120 families.
“I really only expected them to help in a cuddly kind of way, like just to snuggle the kids when they’re upset,” Ms. Manning said. “But I wasn’t really expecting all the other benefits from them.”

Hudson, the dog, looks like a real treasure.
