, today at 4:45 pmFamilies who lost children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CN are undoubtedly going through emotional upheaval beyond imagination. Incomprensible. Of all the possible horrors ? there likely is nothing so awful as losing a child, particularly so unexpectedly. Still, having a pet at home might help to comfort grieving families, particularly children.
Any family in the community with a dog may benefit. It doesn?t mean those families won?t grieve, obviously they will.
But we know that dogs (and cats too) do help. They somehow know how to and when to console. There don?t require an ability to speak in order to help, or at least help some ? yet somehow they know when we need help.
After 9/11 ?comfort dogs? were brought in. These dogs (which unfortunately weren?t all true trained therapy dogs ? better if they had been), were instantly sought out by families missing loved ones, and also by emergency responders ? who also sought reassuring. These dogs really did help.
On the flip side, we will likely learn there were various warning signs that the gunman Adam Lanza was a very troubled individual. Experts suggest there usually are. One red flag among most mass murderers is the irrefutable ?Link? between animal abuse, and then ultimately violence inflicted on people. In other words, most people who commit mass murder previously ?practice? one way or another on animals.
