I came across this link and I had to share it.  Evidently, there is a troupe of golden retrievers in Chicago that travel around the country to help comfort people who have been through tragedies. 

(The awesome pictures are all on Buzzfeed.com right HERE.)

IT still holds true that dogs are man's best friend, even in the face of tragedy.  The whole slew of pictures are really touching.  Enjoy a smile.  And learn more about the troupe of pups here.
