Comfort Dog Ruthie and Her Page Still Going Strong


First posted on December 18,  2012, in the wake of the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.

Ruthie and her friend Luther Comfort Dog watching volleyball game with handlers, January 2014.

You may have seen the K-9 Comfort Dogs in Newtown. They have attended major tragedies and do everyday work like visiting retirement homes and interacting with school children. Each dog has a Facebook page and an email address, listed on the business cards they hand out. Pages like Ruthie's are often in 1st person. Some of their many pages have already been updated this morning, so people are working hard on the social media aspects of this worthwhile program.
