Commentary: A pet a day keeps the doctor away

Pets can be used to help so many people with social, mental, emotional, and even physical issues.

In this April 4, 2018, photo, Boston Marathon bombing survivor Marc Fucarile pats his dog Onyx at his home in Reading, Massachusetts. The 39-year-old from the Boston area lost his right leg in the blast, and his badly maimed left leg causes him unceasing pain. He fears another amputation might be his only option.
