Dogs Are Excellent After A Tragedy
On the Monday after the Orlando mass shooting, 12 specially trained golden retrievers arrived in Florida to do what they do best: provide comfort.
The dogs are part of the K-9 Comfort Dog Team, a program run by the Lutheran Church Charities that now has 130 dogs in 23 states across the country.
Each dog was picked as a puppy because of its calm demeanor, and each one was trained to be gentle, comforting, and affectionate.
