After the Highland Park, IL parade shooting, a North Shore man is offering up his service dog as parade survivors cope with the aftermath.
HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. -- One North Shore man is offering his time and effort to heal a community, left broken.
"I was feeling, what could I do? And how could I help? Obviously, in a situation that is horrendous and hasn't happened in the North Shore probably in 30 or 40 years," Doug Ross said.SEE MORE: Police questioning person of interest in deadly Highland Park parade shooting, authorities say"Feeling helpless, I knew that we have two service dogs. We are handlers for service dogs, and I felt that they could be of use," Ross said.
He came to his high school Tuesday, where he spoke with grief counselors -- ready and available to help those impacted by Monday's tragedy move forward. "Definitely beneficial! The therapist gave us strategies such as thinking of that place where we feel at our center, or being happy. That was the biggest thing I took away from it," Katzmelson said.
