Dogs to the Rescue as Kids Go Back to School in Uvalde

By September 7, 2022No Comments

Comfort dogs are on hand to greet the kids.  Some mothers have trouble remembering … how many kids do you have in school?   One mother carefully says “four,” but before the shooting that killed 19 kids and two teachers, her answer would have been, “five.”

The school police chief has been fired, and the school is being torn down, but kids and families are working to be resilient.  10 Golden Retriever “comfort dogs” and their handlers are on hand to ease the kids’ (and the parents’) fears.   It’s good the dogs are helping but Texas Governor Abbott remains silent … and useless.
