Therapy dogs comfort mourners after bar shooting in California

Therapy dog Zoie, a 10-year-old Maltese mix, getting a pat from a mourner at the sidewalk memorial for the victims of the Borderline bar shooting in Thousand Oaks, California, recently.

Outside Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks, California, the United States, a dozen wooden crosses adorned with flowers line the sidewalk, one for each of the people gunned down in a massacre in the city two weeks ago.

Mourners sit on the curb and gaze at photos of friends they lost, wiping away tears. But some who come to leave flowers or a note may feel a warm brush of fur on their legs, or even a lick.
