"We've always believed oftentimes a dog or an animal can do more for a human being than a human being can," Jane Marsh-Johnson, director of the Gracie Comfort Ministry at Trinity Lutheran Church in Davenport, Iowa, told BuzzFeed News.
Gracie, Trinity Lutheran Church's 5-year-old comfort dog, was selected to be deployed to Orlando at the request of a regional church organization based in Georgia.

"Gracie is known as one of the sweetest," said Marsh-Johnson. "She's always got a big smile."
