Firemen rescued my dog when my house burned down. She is not generally friendly to strangers at all, but she was very good to them. She did get injured trying to escape, tore cranial cruciate ligament or cruciate cranial ligament, forget which order they're in. Tore the other one a year later. $10k surgeries each, but my expensive mutt is worth it and more and I'd pay it again.
Imagine being the owner of this dog and seeing this happen to your dog, you're just waiting on the side for them to save your dog's life, ain't gonna lie, Id be bawling
I hug my dog every day. And I tell him he is loved, and that he is safe, and that he is home. It's a mantra I've been telling him since rescue day 1. He understands. When he is scared, I just hug him and say it, and he takes a deep breath and relaxes.
I'm in SAR and we go after dogs that are in trouble. Like fall down a cliff or stranded in the river. We say, we either rescue the dogs in the morning or rescue the humans in the evening. Too many people do stupid things to try and rescue their dogs.
In California, a group I was part of ensured that FD and EMT units had veterinary masks, so animals could be given O2 after smoke inhalation. It was awesome to know I helped do something good.
At my old department we actually had veterinary oxygen masks on some engines and medic units. I've rendered aid to a cat that we pulled out of a house fire before (he was fine: needed a trip to the vet though).
After we lost a pet, my mom donated a set of those to our local volunteer FD in his memory. I hope they never need to be used but they’re a great thing to have around.
This is my worst nightmare and is the reason I have two separate smart smoke detectors, close all doors before I leave so they can’t hide under a bed and installed a dog door
You are welcome. Message your trashpanda family/friends to stop getting stuck in our empty dumpster please. It was 103 the other day and they looked unhappy.
true... i mean how messed up you'd need to be or they would have to turn out to start to hate firefighters.... they'd have to resign and turn cop at least... and that might not even cut it
I learned this when I was 22. Was in a minor house fire, but was on the street, verge of a panic attack. Tried to talked to a cop; could not give a shit. Moved onto a firefighter. He spent ten minutes talking with me and helping me calm down.
Not before PETA "saved it" with their euthanasia van, on another run to euthanize the poor pets that horrible people allow to be outside unsupervised for short periods of time...
bro come on... even if it's true, why the need to point it out in this unrelated clip? Can't imgur just stop with the constant negativity for 5 seconds.
Possibly not, but there should be one dedicated to that NYFD guy in the video last week that insisted on smashing out the car's windows and putting the hose through ieven though the hose kinked and it wasn't necessary
Cults thrive on controlling information and brainwashing. Like Let's go Brandon. ACAB was created by the increasing visibility on how absolutely shit cops act and treat people. I could make a list, but you know all of it. ACAB came from knowing even good cops won't report or can't report bad cops. It sheds light on the corruption that plagues our justice system. Just like BLM, of course all lives matter....but all lives won't matter until black lives matter.
I'm betting you have personal investment as either being a cop or being related to a cop or something of that nature. Have the maturity to understand why the movement is taking place and know, if the cop doesnt do something about corruption, no matter how amazing a person they are, they are a bad cop.
And how's that any different than all the TBL horseshit that's plastered all over your vehicle?
Also, if you love cops so much, why aren't you one? Too fat? Rejected on psychiatric grounds? Wouldn't that be embarrassing? Even the police were like, "nah dude, you're too volatile even for us, lol."
I bet you think that was a good one, right? Don't make the mistake of thinking I'm maga or even a american, both those groups are fucking lunatics. And its not about like or dislike of cops. The OP doesn't even feature cops, its about a animal in distress, but they're so brainwashed they just can't help themselves. I'm convinced when one of them shout acab, a maga has to shout woke or the cosmic balance of dumbfucks is upended Two sides of the same coin

he's wearing a cape alright, it's just in the shape of a pressure cylinder is all

Especially not firefighters. Not ideal attire for navigating burning buildings.

Yes. Basically. I either get unconditional love, or i get to give unconditional love.

I love it so much when dogs smile!! Our tinny chihuahua does when she is cuddled up and feels safe just like that. Melts my heart.
Heavenissize17socks
Some people say that dogs don't really 'smile'. But that's just because their dogs are disappointed in them.
Santorrr
IIRC they evolved to have that expression because humans react to smiles.

I would 100% go after any dog or cat and sometimes maybe a lizard, so again, thank you for being prepared to do it for us.

Right. And with appropriate training and equipment.

If my dog fell off a cliff, my wife would jump after it. I’d hope it made but if it was something that would threaten my life, I’d call someone.

Makes sense to carry them though, gotta help the entire family not just the two legged. Your old department is pretty awesome

After we lost a pet, my mom donated a set of those to our local volunteer FD in his memory. I hope they never need to be used but they’re a great thing to have around.

That's a really sweet idea to honor their memory, please tell your mom what a great thing she did (again)

I bought my entire family nest smoke detectors so they get mobile alerts.

I got Nest and Simply Safe. I’ve went through a house fire before but luckily my parents had my dog at the time. Now I got 3 that are my world

Every now and then, sometimes, heroes don’t always wear Capes occasionally.

Oh good, Don found a leash

This is why you don't hear any shit about firemen as opposed to cops.
CyanideBreathMint
Honestly, a fire fighters gear is prossibly the closest thing we have to a hero’s cape irl

Actually, I don't think there are many heroes wearing capes at all.

Upvoted for sure on this. These stickers saved my best friends' Pugs after a radiator started a fire in their house while they were at work.

Excellent. Clear inkjet sticker media is pretty cheap too if you want to print your own. Mirror the image and stick it on the inside of the glass.
