Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley
was the guest speaker at the Spring 2014 NEADS (National Education for
Assistance Dog Services) graduation ceremony. Coakley has for the last several
years hosted NEADS puppies in training in her office as part of the NEADS Dogs
at Your Desk Program; she, as well, is a strong vocal supporter of the NEADS
Pawsitively Strong Fund.
Graduating was Holy Family/Star of the Sea
Pastor-designee, Father Scott Euvrard, and his ministry dog Lazer, along with
some twenty incredible adults and children with disabilities including Boston
Marathon survivor, Jessica Kensky
NEADS (also known as Dogs for Deaf and Disabled
Americans), is a non-profit organization that was established in 1976. NEADS
assistance dogs become an extension of their handlers and bring freedom,
physical autonomy and relief from social isolation to their human partners.
In
addition to providing assistance dogs directly for people with a disability,
NEADS also trains service dogs for partnership with teachers, therapists and
those who perform religious ministry. Ministry dogs are placed with a minister,
chaplain, or religious representative in a church or religious setting. The dog
accompanies the minister in his or her duties, including visiting those in hospitals,
nursing homes or private residences, conducting worship services, greeting
parishioners, and attending activities in the community. The dogs have been
specifically trained to help ease ministerial counseling and promote
congregational harmony. The presence of a friendly, soft, engaging animal often
puts people at ease.
