The world as many of us knew it changed forever 22 years ago when nearly 3,000 people were killed in the terrorist attacks in New York City, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania.
That time brings back difficult and emotional memories for Lori Morgan, a local school counselor, but she also recalls the outpouring of compassion displayed by so many people in the days following the tragedy.
In 2001, Morgan brought a therapy dog named Kayla, a Golden Retriever Lab mix, to provide comfort to hundreds of people.Morgan said therapy dogs at major disaster sites were not common 22 years ago, but Kayla provided tremendous support for victims, families and first responders at an assistance center in New Jersey.
"I remember feeling a little bit more empathy and kinship with some of those people who knew that their loved one had passed away," Morgan said.Morgan acknowledged the traumatic time took a toll on counselors and other volunteers, but she was able to focus on"the giving part of it."
