However complicated and conflicted my feelings about police officers, I can whole-heartedly get behind emotional support dogs for the ones on Capitol Hill suffering trauma from the violent insurrectionists who tried to overthrow democracy.

These men and women who put their mental and physical well-being on the line to protect our legislators — even the ones who didn't deserve protection — should get all the doggie love in the world, in my estimation.

I love that there are now two full-time, deputized Capitol Police Emotional Support Doggos.

Welcome to the Capitol, Lila and Leo.
