April 16, 2025 - Maple Grove
Every week, Amos brings warmth, smiles, and companionship to the residents at Maple Grove, an assisted living and memory care facility, brightening their days with his calming presence. As he makes his rounds, Amos also offers quiet support to the dedicated staff—nurses, support staff, and caregivers—who tirelessly provide loving care. Our visits remind everyone they are seen, appreciated, and not alone. Through our ministry of comfort, we share a simple yet powerful message: God is present in their lives.

June 26, 2024 - Armed Force Retirement Home in Washington, D.C.
Through God’s plan, Amos has a new opportunity to serve those who have given so much to our nation. Recently, Amos and his veteran handler went to visit the residents at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Washington, DC. This beautiful facility and grounds have served our nation’s enlisted military personnel since 1851.
Everyone was so friendly and happy to see Amos! His handlers sat and talked with residents and listened as they shared stories. It was a blessing getting to know them, and we are excited to return and see them again!
It’s a joy to share God’s love and honor these heroes for their service!

May 22, 2024 - Honor Flight of the Appalachian Highlands
Team Amos had an amazing weekend welcoming Honor Flight veterans. On Friday evening we welcomed 25 local heroes arriving by bus on the Honor Flight of the Appalachian Highlands. They were so touched to see us waiting to greet them when they arrived at their hotel. We enjoyed fellowship with them as we helped unload luggage and take it up to their rooms.
On Saturday morning we welcomed 115 veterans arriving on the Stars and Stripes Honor Flight from Milwaukee. Kezia Comfort Dog and I congratulated the 10,000th veteran that this hub has flown to DC to see their war memorials. That’s an amazing accomplishment!
>p?We are honored to be able to hug, shake hands, and thank these veterans who sacrificed and served our country.
May 8, 2024 - Inland Northwest Honor Flight
On Tuesday, April 30th, Amos and his veteran handler were honored to walk alongside four Korean War veterans and 85 Vietnam War veterans who traveled to DC on the Inland Northwest Honor Flight. Isaac Comfort Dog traveled with the veterans from eastern Washington, and Kezia Comfort Dog and Amos met them in DC at the memorials dedicated to honoring their service and sacrifice.
The veterans arrived at the Vietnam Memorial prepared to look for the names of their lost comrades on the wall. As they recalled their service, they shared stories with us and the memories stirred deep emotions. Several of the veterans told us how grateful they were to be able to experience this trip.
Honor Flight trips are a healing process for our nation’s heroes, and it is a true privilege to share Jesus’s love with our war veterans. God Bless our veterans!

April 24, 2024 - Baltimore, Maryland
On Tuesday, Amos was in Baltimore to join Kezia Comfort Dog for a prayer service for the victims, families, first responders, and all who were affected by the Key Bridge disaster. Pastor Miguel Torniere led a beautiful service in Spanish and English. He reminded us of the power of prayer in our lives and how our Father wants to communicate with us.
As we prayed for the loss of the six men, we were reminded that, even in the darkness, Christ is with us. Afterward, we signed Hearts of Mercy and Compassion, which will be delivered to the families of the victims. The hearts on the crosses are a tangible sign that others are praying for them and that God is with them. We ask God to be with loved ones, friends, and all who mourn this disaster.
April 10, 2024 - Our Savior's Way
On Sunday, we wished Pastor Tyson safe travels and God's blessings as he follows God's direction to a new church and congregation. We are comforted to know that this is God's call, and as faithful servants, we will find blessings in this change, too.
Pastor Tyson was one of the first members of Our Savior's Way to meet Amos Comfort Dog when we traveled to Northbrook, Illinois in September 2018 to bring Amos and the Comfort Dog Ministry to our church. We have since shared many memories and experiences that will remain in our hearts.
We are blessed by our time with Pastor Tyson. Even in saying our goodbyes we are assured that God goes before us, and we are thankful for His faithfulness in our lives.
