Comfort Dogs Have Flown From All Over the Country to Orlando
Professionally trained comfort dogs from at least nine states have arrived in Orlando to help people affected by Sunday's nightclub attack.

A pack of peace and love has arrived in Orlando, Florida — professional comfort dogs to help ease the pain and stress of survivors and family members following Sunday's terrorist attack.

The dogs and their handlers began arriving yesterday from nine states as far away as Texas and Ohio.

The dogs fanned out to community centers serving as gathering points for those affected by the shooting.

One of the Golden Retrievers curled up at the feet of Russell Walker, who worked at the nightclub where the attack happened.

"Just having the dog sit on my feet is literally…" Walker's comment to WFAA News trailed off as he sighed and smiled, "Just OK."
