The presence of an animal can help facilitate a discussion with human counselors or simply provide wordless emotional release, said Rachel Wright, director of Pet Partners therapy animal program. The group plans to deploy several teams of therapy dogs to Newtown in the near future, working closely with agencies that are already present in the community, she said.

　　To some, the idea of sending a dog to a grieving person might seem too simplistic. But Custance says that very simplicity is part of what makes the connection between humans and canines so powerful.

　　When humans show us affection, its quite a complicated thing that involves expectations and judgments, she said. But with a dog, its a very uncomplicated, nonchallenging interaction with no consequences. And if youve been through a hard time, its lovely to have that.
