Comfort Dogs

Dog Heroes

by Natalie Lunis

Meet Isaiah. He's one of nearly 70 golden retrievers who are sent around the county to perform a special job--to comfort and calm people after a tragedy has occurred. From meeting survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing to victims of Hurricane Sandy, these specially-trained dogs help relieve people's stress as they provide peace and comfort. Run by the Lutheran Church Charities, the comfort dog program is truly an example of the amazing ways a furry friend can bring happiness--or even just a smile--to people when they need it most. With real heart-warming stories and full-color photos of these lovable canines, this book is sure to appeal to dog lovers everywhere.
