This story, by Eric Moskowitz of The Boston Globe, will make you cry – but at least it is a dog story with a bittersweet ending.

In a blissful life upended, the gift of man’s best friend endures

The Dog in the Hospital

Posted on June 13, 2014 | 1 comment

Great story from The Boston Globe which shows dogs are medicine for the soul.  In this article (linked below), read about Mike Hurley and his therapy dog, Dexter.  This pair worked behind the scenes with Boston bombing victims and their families and continue to spread cheer amongst patients at the Center.

For a beloved member of the family

Posted on October 12, 2011 | Leave a comment

This column, For a beloved member of the family in memoriam, was written by Bella English, a columnist for The Boston Globe newspaper.

It touches on that special relationship we have with our dogs, and the grief and mourning we experience when they pass.

I hope this item resonates with you as much as it does with me.
