Just last week, over 50 people lost their lives in Las Vegas. 

As well as this, over 200 people were injured in what is being called the deadliest mass shooting in American history.

Since the attack, people have donated their time and money to survivors to try and make the recovery process that little bit easier.

Similarly, to help in whatever way they can, LCC K-9 Comfort have deployed their therapy dogs to survivors who feel like they might be of some use.

The group specialise in stress-relief via canines, so last week, they sent 19 of their Golden Retrievers to Las Vegas.

They also documented the dogs’ work on Facebook.

As well as being a source of calm for survivors of the shooting, the dogs were also there for the 911 dispatchers, doctors, and first-responders who experienced the events first-hand last weekend.

The dogs seem only delighted to be able to help.
