. I want to start with you, Maura. You have been in the position of these family members of the victims before. Talk about what you went through in Sandy Hook.
MAURA: This one in particular- my husband was trying to warn me to not look at the news, but obviously you can't avoid it. It's on social media. It's everywhere. And as soon as I saw the numbers, which are so close to Sandy Hook's numbers, it was like I was right back on December 14th. JANICE: Well, first I need to introduce Logan or he will be upset with me. This is Logan. He's a 17-month-old golden retriever, and he is packing his bags, and we are flying out tomorrow at five in the morning. We're going with a team of four dogs. We have three crisis counselors going with us, dog handlers. And we also have a crisis counselor who is bilingual who will be able to go with us to be able to speak to some of the families in their language.
