VIDEO: One local fire station has its very own mental health therapy dog. Itâs the first therapy dog designated to firefighters in the Tampa Bay Area.
At the North River Fire District, the new mental health dog named Drew, right here, is changing the whole morale of the station, and officials say heâs helping firefighters after they respond to traumatic calls. âWe see most everyone on their worst days so we try to do our best and be professionals. Drew kind of comes back and be a human again,â said firefighter, Michael Davila.
We all know the saying âA manâs best friendâ¦â but what about a first responderâs best friend?
âHeâll come and run up to you, give a nice little lick and you can pet him, heâs always happy to see you,â said Davila.
For the firefighters at the North River Fire District, this little golden retriever named Drew is their best friend.
