LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Noah (Timothy - St. Louis, Missouri) had a dedicated room for the guests to come and visit him. During the three hour event, at least 30 guests came to visit Noah along with their chaperone buddies and other staff workers. The man giving Noah a hug kept coming back to Noah and petting him during the evening. The older man had a big smile and so did Noah. Everyone loved Noah's big smile throughout the evening.

The team was honored to be included in this special night, and gave each attendee a Mini Stuffed LCC K-9 Comfort Dog.

LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Elijah (Our Redeemer - Wichita Falls, Texas) participated in Night to Shine in Wichita Falls, Texas.

The sensory room is a room set up for those people that couldn't cope well with the loud music, flashing lights, and over-stimulation. Elijah was introduced as a special guest and was cheered as he arrived.
