1. pure love ❤️

[hlthe2b]

3. Absolutely...

If I were one of the students, I'm not sure you'd be able to separate me once I started hugging one of those big guys.

[DBoon]

6. pure gold!

[Frustratedlady]

2. That's too much. The tears hit with that photo.

The photo should be sent to the Trump gun humpers in Congress.

[erronis]

34. Most people with that cited brain wiring have no real empathy

for dogs, pets,other people.

They may see dogs as useful for helping to, or killing other animals.

You will probably find them lusting for power, money, bling. But never satisfied.

Since they have an empty core.

[red dog 1]

46. Perfect description for Shitler.....He hates animals, and has no empathy for anyone

He actually promised Barron, (who was looking at a photo of a puppy),
"If Daddy becomes President, you can have a dog."
Then, after he won, he told Barron, "You're not getting a dog."

[Beaverhausen]

37. Me too

[Amaryllis]

48. Me too. Immediate tears.

[Politicub]

58. Same here

The dogs will be happy to see the kids.

[riversedge]

4. oh, what a grand idea for this kids. so beautiful

[Polly Hennessey]

5. What a line of love.

[MineralMan]

7. Who's the good boy?

[Leith]

8. I Want Two of Them for Myself

Are they all Golden Retrievers?

[hlthe2b]

9. yes or at least Golden Retriever mixes (one or two might be mixed)

[Leith]

10. They Could Be Yellow Labrador Retrievers

I just looked up pics of both and it's hard to tell the difference.

[Stinky The Clown]

15. I think they're all Goldens. Maybe the second from the left is a mix

All of them have coats too long for a Lab.

Kinda no matter. Both breeds are very people-centric. Goldens are a little more openly friendly (jumpy-licky-waggy-happy).

[red dog 1]

47. I think they're all Golden Retrievers except for dog # 3, who might be a white lab

[Botany]

54. Yes

n/t

[demmiblue]

11. Puppehs to the rescue!

[OhNo-Really]

12. Soooo touching. Thank you for posting.

Brought tears .... today feels like a sad day...this helped

[oasis]

13. Beautiful.

[Stinky The Clown]

14. Who doesn't love a Golden?

[ButSeeYa]

16. I'm tearing up just looking at the photo.

[TygrBright]

17. That just made me cry. In a good way.

So much love.

In the face of such human need.

In contrast to the sea of human stupidity, meanness and cruelty being poured out on those kids and their families.

wistfully,
Bright

Waiting on DH, trying to resist but the tears are out now.
That pic just hit my soft spots.
Dogs, kids. ❤

[BamaRefugee]

19. GREAT! [although I could have done without tearful memories of my Golden "BUCK" this morning ;-) ]

[flygal]

20. I start training mine in April to be a therapy dog - I can't wait!

He has totally brought comfort to me I know he's gonna be good!

[BillyBobBrilliant]

21. Not a single Republican

in the line!

[snacker]

22. Oh my...

no words.

[IronLionZion]

23. "Be the change you wish to see in the world" in the background

These well educated students are exactly the reason why Trump and DeVos want to dismantle public education.

Articulate thoughtful students are obviously 30 year old crisis actors because Republicans celebrate stupidity and desperately want to believe that young liberals are eating Tide pods and have soft backbones made of whiny entitlement.

Republicans are not used to smart high school students so they refuse to believe it.

[hlthe2b]

25. You know, I was sort of waiting to see if someone would comment on that...

It is a poignant reminder and incredibly apropos for that school and those kids.


“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”

[barbtries]

26. made me cry.

so sweet, and yet so inadequate to the task of "getting over" the trauma for the survivors and the 17 lives taken senselessly.

[hlthe2b]

28. Somehow I think those dogs

will never stop trying. That's the wonder of dogs....

[barbtries]

33. dogs are wonderful.

better than people most of the time.

wonder how long it'll be before the NRA wants to force them to carry weapons.

[Bayard]

27. Oh my...

There's not much that's more calming and comforting than petting a dog, and getting loved on in return.

Good idea from someone.

[smirkymonkey]

29. Oh! What beautiful puppers! Dogs are such amazing animals.

And Golden Retrievers are so loving and affectionate. They couldn't have chosen a better breed.

[sarge43]

30. We really don't deserve dogs.

The teachers and staff will need some of that comfort, too.

[JDC]

31. Man, that pic got to me. Thx.

[iluvtennis]

32. awwww, so sweet. love it

[Upthevibe]

35. They are so precious....

I'm tearing up....

[applegrove]

36. Golden retrievers would be perfect.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

38. Before even looking at the picture I speculated that at least a few of the comforters were Goldens

They ARE the perfect dog for this job. Who has ever met a Golden Retriever that was anything but chill.

[applegrove]

40. And when you don't know them they get you to pat them in two seconds and they sit there

taking it all in and blinking innocently like they didn't orchestrate the whole petting situation. Brilliant love machines.

[leftyladyfrommo]

49. I take care of one that is a basket case.

But most of them are just super.

[dhill926]

39. well....throw the damn ball already....

[FirstLight]

41. They're gonna need more doggies

...One per kid/teacher!!!

Dammitt, got something in my eye...

[demmiblue]

43. that tweet of her response made my day...

[CTyankee]

44. I know these dogs well. I had my daughter's golden retriever when I was sick. she stayed in

my room and slept there and would not leave me. I loved her so much and she sensed the need in me. I got better. much because of her.

[red dog 1]

45. They're not dogs - They're angels!

K&R

[Lifelong Protester]

50. K & R!

Want to keep this goodness going.

[nolabear]

51. Emma Gonzales mentioned there were doggos there.

I don’t doubt they were hugged considerably. ❤️

[lunamagica]

52. Awww...those sweeties

[Rhiannon12866]

53. +1000! Inspired!

Even I feel better just looking at these angels...

56. Deplos

Can they book those comfort dogs for the day after tRump's resignation? Some deplos might need them.

[rocktivity]

59. They're even good at comforting mourning dogs
