English Translation Overview
#thisistheVOICE of…compassion, prayer, and faith during times of crisis and sudden disaster in America.
The Lutheran Church Charities [LCC] has more than 130 K-9 Comfort Dogs (dogs of #comfort, also called #Missionaries) serving mourners and families of victims during unexpected circumstances (shootings, natural disasters, landslides)...
Dogs and their #handlers travel from 27 states across the country when their presence is required by 911 to ease the pain of tragedies.
Lutheran Church Charities (its canine mission), based in Illinois, is an organization that uses prayer, the biblical word and #goldenretriever dogs to extend emotional support to those who were surprised with bad news in which a loved one was seen involved and in which he probably lost his life.
George Tapia, with whom I spoke, is a retired #NYPD Detective. He and the dog from his church form a pair for #LCCK9 that has opened the door of communication for people who are going through perhaps the worst moment of their lives after the death of, for example, a son, as happened recently (and very unfortunately) in an elementary school in #UvaldeTexas
