Lydia Comfort Dog is a LCC trained Comfort Dog based in Lynnfield, MA.

Lydia Comfort Dog has her own facebook page. If you go "Like" it, you can see pics of the places she goes and what she does. https://www.facebook.com/LydiaComfortDog?ref=aymt_homepage_panel

The following link is to Lutheran Church Charities, LCC, the organization who trains these dogs for a year or more before they are placed around the country. Unlike a person-specific therapy dog, these Comfort Dogs are handled by 7 different people trained as Handlers in our Team. The Comfort Dogs go to a wide range of places such as disaster sites, nursing homes, and hospitals, funerals, schools, libraries, Special Olympics, firefighters, police, etc., etc.. The link below will take you to pages where you can read many stories from all over the country about the work of the Comfort Dogs.
