Golden Retrievers bring comfort and emotional support to Parkland student survivors
Scheels All Sports, the newly opened recreational gear store in Johnstown, Colo., draws a decent number of people for a Tuesday morning. Local teens on spring break as well as families who’ve driven down from Cheyenne stroll the wide aisles surrounding the Ferris wheel in the store’s center. Some shoppers amble while others look for specific items to buy. However, at some point, nearly all of them turn their heads to watch the Golden Retriever named Cubby who’s also walking through the store, wearing a blue vest printed with the words “Pet me!”
“Would you like to pet her?” asks Bonnie Fear, one of Cubby’s handlers. Invariably, the answer is “Yes!” Huge smiles spread across people’s faces as they reach out to begin the snuggling.
