Halloween in Rock Falls is for the Dogs

The Rock Falls Police Department has a "dog gone" good time planned for Halloween.

The Rock Falls Police Department "comfort dog" Lacey, is ready for the kids this Halloween.

This is Officer Lacey, and stopping by the Rock Falls Police Department will get you some candy and a meet and greet with this fancy pup.

A comfort dog also is known as a therapy dog, is a dog that might be trained to provide affection and comfort to people. Whether it is in a hospital setting or a police station. These dogs are trained to ease the pain and stress of a situation. A lot of times, people dealing with anxiety, and mental disorders can benefit from having dogs like Lacey around.
