These are the LCC K9 Comfort Dogs. Unfortunately, you’ve probably seen their incredible work before. The organization deploys comfort dogs from around the country following tragic events.

Sadly, this is the sixth crisis they’ve responded to this year. Comfort dogs Faith, Seth, and Zoara were in Charlotte, North Carolina in May after 4 police officers were killed. Phinehas, who traveled the farthest to be in Georgia, responded to the Perry High School shooting in Iowa in January. And comfort dog Peace spent time with the community of Uvalde, Texas on the second anniversary of the Robb Elementary School shooting.

Every dog brought their “please pet me” vest and invited members of the community to love on them for as long as they needed.
