This Dog Comforts Grieving Families At A Place Where They Need It The Most

Pin

During the hardest times of our lives, we can always count on our dogs to be by our side, comforting us. One of the most distressing times is the loss of a loved one. We all know that losing a loved one is hard and very depressing. And the pain of those who are grieving can be somehow eased by those who sympathize and comfort them.

A funeral home in White Home Plains, New York has recruited a dog who can provide comfort to the grieving family and friends of those who have departed. Lulu, a one-year-old Goldendoodle, is the newest staff member of The Ballard-Durand Funeral & Cremation Services. Lulu is specially trained and she’s a certified therapy dog. As the “comfort companion” of the funeral home, Lulu provides families with comfort, love and support. She also acts as a subtle distraction from their grief. Watch the video below for the full story.

If the family needs Lulu’s comfort, they can request for her to be brought in. Her presence somehow soothes the family. And her affectionate and cheerful nature, as well as her charm, helps in cheering up those who are mourning.
