Comfort dogs

On a cool winters day in Cedar Key, we met this fine woman and her husband and their three dogs. They are from the state of Illinois and had been vacationing in Cedar Key. They love their dogs who were very sweet. It turns out that the dogs are "comfort dogs." They are specially trained and they visit the elderly, sick, and shut-ins on a regular basis back "home" to bring them a little comfort and canine affection.
