Good link!

I was out watering the front garden yesterday when a lady came by with a dog. I always have to greet the dog. It turned into a long chat as her husband had died last week and she was grieving.

Turns out she had borrowed her daughter's dog. She needed company and a friend in bed.

Just another way a dog can make all the difference.

If my husband dies first , they'll be 3 dogs in my bed .

Many high schools and Universities bring dogs in during exam times to reduce stress in students. Companion/service dogs are fabulous for all kinds of situations. A home without a dog just seems incomplete.
