Congratulations to Lauren and Drago!!
Therapy Dog: "Drago," a Spinone Italiano owned by Lauren Friedman and
Chris Sweetwood of Milford, Connecticut Drago, a "do-it-all"
Spinone Italiano with more than 1,000 therapy visits to his
credit, faced a challenge like no other in Newtown, Connecticut
last December when his therapy skills were called upon after the
shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Lauren and Drago
immediately headed to Newtown, a chaotic scene full of
shell-shocked local residents. They spent nearly every day until
January at the Crisis Center that was set up at Reed
Intermediate School, providing love and support to those who
needed it. Drago accompanied kids and adults into counseling
sessions, and spent time with children who were doing crafts
and activities while their parents were busy with chaplains and
psychologists. Lauren and Drago still visit area schools
today.
