Mourners could be seen petting and taking photos with the dogs. The crew of canines included golden retrievers, a border collie and other breeds. “Dogs don’t judge, and they are never going to say something inappropriate to someone; they’re just there. They have nothing to say and just all love to give,” said Graziano. “We hope to get the message that we care, we can’t... there’s not a lot that we can do, we can’t make this different, but maybe we can make it a slight bit better. My hopes are that perhaps we touch somebody.”
