@butterfly123, that beautiful dog, Gracie, will surely bring comfort to many. She will feel their pain and respond with abundant love. Thank you for sharing.

@MaggieMack

She will have other Comfort Dog friends joining her from other states as well, to help many people.

Comfort dogs are such a blessing.

Josh McGill and friend Ashley Summers fled the club and lost track of one another. McGill found shelter behind a car.

 

"I was about to run for it, to the safe zone," McGill said. "And I hear someone kind of like mumbling, 'Help! Help!'" 

 

A few feet away, 27-year-old Rodney Sumter Jr. lay wounded and bleeding, shot in each arm and once in the back.

 

"I only saw the one bullet at first, and I was like, 'We need to stop the bleeding.' And he's like, 'Okay.' So I took my shirt off and I tied it around as tight as I could and then I saw his other arm had been shot. So I took his shirt off, tied it around that one," McGill recounted.

 

The two hobbled their way to police at the scene.

 

"So the police officer turned to me and said, 'Okay, this is what the deal is. You're going to lay down in the back of that cop car and he's going to lay on top of you, and I want you to bear hug him and try to keep all the pressure on him as you can.' So I did," McGill said. "And they were like 'Also, like keep him conscious.'"

 

McGill held Sumter all the way to the hospital.

 

"I was like, 'I don't know if you're religious but I feel like I need to say a prayer. You're going to be fine.' I was like, 'I got you, man,'" McGill said.
