Tim Hetzner, founder of the K-9 Comfort Dog Ministries told ABC news, "the great thing about the dogs, they're unconditional, confidential and safe."
He also told ABC that the dogs themselves are sensitive to people's emotional needs. "Dogs have an incredible sense of when somebody is hurting," he said, "they'll just come and lay themselves into somebody's lap."
These expectation-free and compassionate interactions can make a real difference in people's emotional recovery, and we hope the helpful doggos get to spread as much comfort as possible before going home.
