Tody "The Seattle Times " had an interesting article about creature comfort. A funeral home study has found that funeral home pets(dogs) help those in grief. This comes as no surprize to me ,how about you pet lovers?

Huh? you're an atheist because of the fact Christians won't be able to clarify the least complicated issues to you? There at the instant are not the different perception structures and you're the two an atheist or a Christian? That seems extraordinary to me and that i've got been a enormously annoying center skeptic in my lifetime. besides, Rene Girard, a French literary critic from Stanford promises some compelling reasons of sacrifice in 2 or 3 magnificent books. consisting of the main cogent prognosis of the magnitude of the enthusiasm, which i wouldn't in any respect understood, that i've got ever study. Violence and the Sacred The Scapegoat I See devil Fall Like Lightning How approximately you supply those a study. no rely in case you believe or no longer Girard does an incredible pastime of exploring some methods embedded interior the fabric of society and humanity and shows how the Christ sacrifice, a minimum of for Christians, outcomes that dynamic.

Yes, I understand how a dog or cat that came to sit beside a grieving person at the funeral home would help them feel better. My pets are always a comfort to me. They know when humans are hurting and need nurturing.

There is an organization here in England that takes dogs into hospitals and homes for the elderly to pet. People have a good reaction to them and sometimes they may have had to leave a beloved dog behind or always had a dog, and now they can't, so they really enjoy the visits.Such a good idea.

Not my thing. I have had pets that I loved very much but not enough to give me comfort at a funeral of a person I loved deeply.
I can understand that later when back at home a pet can be comforting and distracting. To each his own.

I agree, my Old English Sheepdogs are PAT dogs, Pets As Therapy. They do a good bit of visiting throughout the year.

Even a good toot at a wake is going to the dogs it would seem.

No surprise to me either - I've had dogs in the past (now have two cats) and they always knew when I was feeling down - sigh . . .. . . ... .. . . .. !

Hope they don't pee on my black dress or hump my leg while I cry.
I got to wear that dress a few times more before they lay me down to sleep, with my bag of $ at my feet. lol
