Companions for Courage in Orlando, Florida, is a community outreach program that provides therapy dogs for children who have experienced trauma and need to confront that trauma in court. The dogs provide a sense of security, creating a bond with child victims, giving them the courage and confidence to face the court situation. The dogs enable the children to stay calm and tell their stories. The children feel protected with a big dog at their side as they face the reason for their trauma. A dog truly can be their best friend in this challenging experience.

    Thank you all so much and I hope this program becomes universally established on behalf of children and other victims of trauma and abuse. As a chaplain, I have seen too many incidences where victims feel vulnerable, defenseless, and retraumatized in trial situations. I'd love to see a dog by each of their sides! They are amazing! You all are. Thanks again and thank you so much for sharing this.

    A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself.

    This reminded me of my friend, Ron Kirstein, who had his dog, Rusty, in his office often as a counselor, with the same results. Awesome!
