Two therapy dogs visited firefighters at the Soberanes Fire south of Monterey, California over the weekend. The dogs are more commonly seen at hospitals, but they lifted the spirits of the firefighters who had not been home for one or two weeks

“When you see your guys smiling and they’re tired – they worked really hard yesterday – but they got time to come over and play with the dogs. It’s kind of neat,” said Santa Barbara firefighter Jim McCoy.

  1. So was the dog able to visit the dirty, haggard, tired line crews? Or just the clean uniform guys in staging?

  2. It is always nice to see the public doing what they can do to assist fire fighters. The number of new starts yesterday in California was scary. A heat wave starts Friday. As for the pictures of the fire fighters, once they receive their overtime checks this will be the best therapy ever.
