Listen "Amos: Harbinger of Hope"
Episode Synopsis
Amos, a highly trained Golden Retriever comfort dog, provides emotional support in various settings, including schools, hospitals, and crisis situations. Unlike therapy dogs, Amos's role focuses on offering comfort through physical presence and affection, helping individuals cope with stress and grief. His extensive training, involving over 2000 hours and a dedicated team of handlers, allows him to effectively interact with diverse populations, including children and those with anxieties. Funding for Amos's training and ministry comes from the Lutheran Church Charities Comfort Dog Ministry. Numerous anecdotes illustrate Amos's profound positive impact on people experiencing emotional distress, demonstrating his unique ability to bring hope and comfort and love.
