Comfort dogs help ease pain of mourning Newtown community
Groups from across the country brought dogs, some of them therapy animals, some just caring pets, to help both young and old cope with their grief over the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre . By Jennifer H. Cunningham AND Adam Edelman / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Monday, December 17, 2012, 6:47 PM
A pack of sympathetic groups bearing supportive canines spent much of Monday with bereaved Connecticut residents affected by last week's Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, providing children and adults alike with the cuddly comfort that only a four-legged friend can give.
The "comfort dogs," or "therapy dogs" as they are sometimes called, were brought in by at least three groups late Sunday to help kids and adults alike cope with last week's horrific shooting in Newtown that left 20 first graders and six school officials dead.
What happens if a kid has allergies? My neighbor grandson, 5 years old, had never been around a dog, his aunt dropped hers off at her parents house as she went on a business trip. The little kid was there, he played with the dog and then spent a week in the hospital.
