From News Nation:
“US Capitol Police welcome
emotional support dog to department”
The U.S. Capitol Police announced
Wednesday they have a new four-legged friend. The department has added a
2-year-old emotional support dog named Lila. “We are thrilled to welcome the
newest member of our Department!” the announcement said. Lila, a black Labrador
Retriever, will start her new role on July 5, several months after the Jan. 6
insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. According to NPR, officers have reported
emotional issues including stress and anxiety following the violent attack. A
Senate report released last week details how officers on the front lines suffered
chemical burns, brain injuries and broken bones, among other injuries, after
fighting the attackers, who quickly overwhelmed them and broke into the
building. More than 450 people across
the U.S. have been charged so far in the riot.
