Pets bring joy to members of Congress enduring lockdown

By Dan Desai Martin -May 1, 2020 3:00 PM
Members of Congress say pets are bringing comfort as they work from home and practice social distancing.

Libby, a rescue dog adopted over the 2019 holidays, "can't quite figure out what she did right," Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) said in an April interview.

Houlahan is one of several members of Congress who shared photos of their pets and stories about what it has been like working with their furry companions during the coronavirus crisis.

Whether in emails or phone interviews, every member emphasized the importance of physical distancing during this crisis in order to slow the spread of the virus.
