Therapy Dogs Bring Comfort To Boston (GALLERY)
(SERVICE DOGS) Last week, the Boston Marathon came to a tragic end after two explosions went off, killing three people and injuring more than 170. In the wake of this disaster, our furry, four-legged friends have really stepped up to the plate as Lutheran Church Charities has flown three specially-trained therapy dogs out to Boston to help provide therapy for those shaken up from the bombings. The Illinois-based charity dogs have joined two others who have been staying with the students at Sandy Hook Elementary School every school day since the December shooting. The well-trained service dogs share their love and provide a calming effect just by interacting with people in a time of need. “When patients see the dogs, they light up and smile. It gives them a chance to release,” said Tim Hetzner, president of Lutheran Church Charities. “In many cases they talk to the dogs like they are counselors, big furry counselors.” Take a look at these dogs in action and see how they’re giving people a reason to smile. — Global Animal

Cuddly Animal Friends Will Make Your Day (GALLERY)
(ANIMAL PICTURES) Our furry friends can be the most caring and thoughtful creatures around, with lifelong friendships that extend to all sorts of species. Buster, an older dog whose injuries left him with paralyzed legs, lost his ability to go upstairs and sleep with his human family. He would spend his nights whining and crying until Kitty, the family cat, began sleeping with him every night. This touching tale illustrates just how powerful animal bonds can be. In celebration of Kitty, here is a gallery of our cuddly animal friends. — Global Animal
