Therapy dogs slated to visit Capitol Hill today
By Judy Kurtz - 11/13/19 08:00 AM EST

Some cuddly canines are coming to the rescue of stressed-out Capitol Hill staffers.

Pet Partners, a therapy animal organization, and the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council are bringing a batch of furry friends to the halls of Congress.

Therapy dogs will be ruff-ing it on Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Room 902 of the Hart Senate Office Building and rooms 2043 and 2044 of the Rayburn House Office Building.

“Who better to bring comfort and relief to the hardworking folks on Capitol Hill than a furry group of loving, intuitive, and bipartisan Pet Partners therapy animals?” the groups asked in a news release touting the event.

These dogs are specially trained to recognize the whimpering that accompanies TDS symptoms and respond by taking a leak in your shoes to cheer you up.

Still and all, I wanna see the doggies. It’s National Kindness Day. Don’t make fun of da doggies.

Supposedly, the dogs are here for the staffers, but I expect after today's hearings, the congresspersons, witnesses and attorneys could all benefit from the therapy dogs.
