Dog’s are marvellous. My best friend in the world is my Labrador, and he can be really naughty, but that’s what makes him my cheeky buddy who sticks up for me every day. They are the best friends and greatest comforts.

This is such a sweet and genuine gesture. Dogs are dubbed as “man’s best friend” for so many reasons, and I like to think this calming effect is #1. I hope these dogs brought some much needed comfort and soothing - even if only for a few minutes - for this aching community.

This just goes to show how calming an animal can be. These dogs are so special and you can see that they are aware of the grief that these children and adults are feeling. God bless the owners of these dogs for bringing them to the people that could use them the most

Such a lovely idea. I used to own a Golden Retriever and they really are the most affectionate dogs.

This could not be more perfect. My golden was my therapist for so many years, & of course just a month after he passed, I had a stillbirth. Luckily, a friend’s border collie came to my rescue. Now I have my Lab. Dogs are lifesavers & I love them all for it.
