Girl's Best Friend
"Girl's Best Friend" is a deeper conversation about the connections between humans that happen because of dogs. We will explore the friendships, support systems, commerce, and creatives that only dogs manage to bring together. We’re interested in heartwarming, heartbreaking, and hilarious stories about what happens when we give our lives to our dogs, and get friendships, challenges, and communities in return.

One of our saddest realities of current life is that mass violence occurs. Sandy Hook, the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas, the the Boston Marathon and Pulse Nightclub, just to name a few. You might have seen Tim Hetzner and his team of Golden Retreivers on the news at these sites offering victims hugs and compassion and bringing light to the darkness. Tim Hetzner, Founder and President of LCC Ministries K-9 Comfort Dog Program discusses why Goldens are uniquely capable of the job and why dogs, as a species, are masters of mercy offering empathy, listening ears and eye contact in situations where human beings often fall short.
