School shooting

The dogs were among nine therapy dogs brought to Sandy Hook from Portage, Indiana, with the Holy Cross Lutheran Church to help mourners cope with the devastating loss. Seven of the dogs were brought to a private space where the Sandy Hook students were gathered to comfort them. (Cloe Poisson/Hartford/Courant/Tribune News Service via Getty Images)
