In the wake of the horrific Newton, Conn. school shooting, this video brings a little sunshine.
I am a huge proponent of the comfort that our four-legged friends can bring to us in times of trouble. This past Friday, my parents had to put down our 9-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, Amber, after a short but swift illness. She provided all of us with warm, furry hugs in many times of need over the years, and she leaves a big hole in all of our hearts and lives.
While on the phone with my parents, my two dogs, Hannah and Titan, clung to me like glue through the whole ordeal. They knew something was up, and Titan sat in my lap while Hannah licked my face. Life brings trials and tribulations of all shapes and sizes but dogs are loving, non-judgmental, and accept anyone who has love to give. So take a minute and hug your dog (or cat, or horse, or rabbit or whatever) today. I promise it will help to dissolve any troubles in your way.
