One of the guests at a recent Kingfisher Lions Club meeting had a comforting effect on the otherwise boisterous group. And it’s by design. Miriam, a trained comfort dog, was one of the guests during a meeting earlier this month. Miriam was trained for her purpose by the Lutheran Church Charities K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry and is a part of the Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Kingfisher’s outreach. She was joined at the meeting by top dog handler Keith Leimbach, left, and J. Juan Jech, who is part of her team of handlers. Miriam has her own business card that says she “is a friend who brings a calming influence and allows people to open up their hearts and receive help for what is affecting them.” It says she interacts with people at churches, schools, nursing homes, hospitals, events and in disaster situations. For more information, you can visit Miriam’s Facebook page (MiriamComfortDog) or email Miriam@K9Comfort.org. /Photo provided]
