To the MP Firefighters, can't thank you enough! I'm so glad you're just around the block, and appreciate all the kind words you always express to interested children.

And thank you for the special care of the poor dog. I hope he pulls through.

I'm so glad you are okay. How is your dog doing? I hope he is doing fine. I couldn't tell from the photo, but did the fire fighters have a special pet oxygen mask to use? If not, maybe some of us could get together and donate one to the fire department.

By the way, the photo of the fire fighter and the dog captured the moment eloquently.

I hope the dog is okay. I was also wondering why no oxygen.
