The post KABC’s “The Peter Tilden Show” Interview About “Extraordinary Dogs” first appeared on John Schlimm.

The book consists of 40 essays profiling different dogs, along with lovable, heartwarming pictures of each canine, taken by co-author Liz Stavrinides.

During a Christopher Closeup interview, Schlimm told me, ‘These dogs are doing some incredible works, and certainly the comfort dogs [from] a Christian organization. [Their handlers] believe that this is an extension of Jesus’ own work that they’re doing. And that bears out in the work that you see. They are going into some of the most tragic places on the planet: into schools after school shootings: Parkland, Newtown. The search and rescue dogs are going into places like Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria…the mud slides out in California…You realize that not only are all of these dogs truly American treasures, but they are helping us to express the best of the human spirit and bringing light into lives that have been submerged into dark.’”

“One of the greatest gifts Gen Z is already giving to the world is how they are flipping the script on the stereotypes and stigmas around mental illness,” Schlimm said. “Their courage and openness in sharing their stories, about things like suicide attempts, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, abuse, rape, and so many other conditions and traumas, is perhaps the biggest thing to happen in the world of mental health and wellness ever.”
