You know, while it’s great that a dog can be such a comfort to those who are terminal, the headline just struck me as being truly pathetic.
It’s revealing that we have come to such a point in our society that we have to look to or feel like it’s animals that give us meaning.
We should be getting that from and giving it to other people.
I agree — the title is indeed very poor — I think what they tried to convey that some people really don’t have anyone who cares about them, and the dog is the only one who cares.
This, unfortunately is not far from the truth in many cases — a really sad commentary on our society.
