Always believed in the power of therapy animals. Glad they could help in this situation. Such a blessing for this community.
I missed the name of this group's Facebook page. Could someone reply with the answer?
Thank you and God bless you all!
Why do Comfort Dogs need prong collars?
Just another example how the Christian Church does so much for our communities. I read on these forums often how if we as a society did away with organized religion our world we be a lot better off. I think not! Wake up and see all the good the Church does.
This is such an amazing program that the Lutheran Church offers. I wish more churches had comfort dogs to meet these needs.
I hope these beautiful goldens live in homes with families and not in a kennel.. please comment.
They do all live in homes. When they are off duty they are the family pet!
These dogs do not live in kennels. They live with their owners. One of these dogs works at our school with our students and goes home everyday with his owner.
