Comfort Dogs Available For CPD Officers In Need Following Deaths Of Two Officers Fatally Struck By Train
CHICAGO (CBS) -- During this incredibly difficult time following the deaths of two Chicago Police officers struck and killed by a train in the line of duty, the Lutheran Church Charities K-9 comfort dogs are offering their assistance.
The Northbrook based dogs will be available to any Chicago Police officer or emergency staff in need of comfort.
The pups are often dispatched to areas and departments that have experienced tragedy.
Sometimes the simplest touch, past or embrace helps relieve pain and grief.
We were invited to & are deploying to the Chicago Office of Emergency Management & Communications. We are going to comfort dispatchers and call takers after last night's death of two Chicago police officers.
