The LCC-K9 comfort dogs are part of an elite unit of extra cuddly pooches from the K-9 Comfort Dog Ministries and theyâve been working overtime in Las Vegas since the day after the deadly shooting there. These special dogs have been comforting survivors in hospitals, at hotels, and at candlelight vigils all week.
Therapy dogs like these are commonly used to calm people after a stressful situation or event. And thatâs exactly what theyâve been doing for folks in Vegas.
âThese dogs are unconditional, confidential, and safe,â explains Tim Hetzner, founder of K-9 Comfort Dog Ministries. âDogs have an incredible sense of when somebody is hurting. Theyâll just come up and lay themselves into somebodyâs lap.â And sometimes thatâs exactly what someone needs.
