Therapy dogs were among those that comforted the people of Newtown, Conn., through their darkest days. Over the weekend, they all came together for a day of thanks.
More than 150 community members joined about 50 dogs and their owners and handlers on Saturday to thank them for the comfort they provided through the days and months following the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Many of the therapy dog handlers carry business cards with photos of the dogs on them, Neumann said, and the children took to collecting them like baseball cards, trading their friends for their favorites.
He said Saturday’s event was a special moment of recognition for their work. “It gives them joy and it gives us joy. For them to do this special recognition on Saturday was very heartwarming,” Neumann said. “We get paid with the love and the appreciation. That’s worth millions.”

I hardly know whether to laugh or cry, so I'll do both.
