Blog post about Fire Safety Dogs on Canidae Pet Foods Responsible Pet Ownership Blog Today
I have no words to describe how thankful I am to CANIDAE Pet Foods for including our story on their Responsible Pet Ownership blog today.
In 2003, I started a journey that would take me to a place that I never thought I would go, and it all began with my best friend at the time, Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog. Sparkles and I had 8 wonderful years together after I adopted her from the Dalmatian Assistance League in Tulsa Oklahoma.
I have dedicated my life to helping keep children safe and I am thankful to Sparkles, Spanner (also over the Rainbow Bridge), and now Tango, Siren and Sparkles II for being with me over the years to help do keep children safe from fire.
Without companies like Canidae, PetSmart and our sponsor, First Alert and other sponsors of our programming, including State Farm Insurance, we wouldn't be where we are today.
And while I am thanking people, to those friends on Facebook that have donated to the Keep Kids Fire Safe™ Foundation, your donation helps us in so many ways and we are truly grateful! Not only your donations have been helpful, so have your words of encouragement and support over the years. Thank you!
Again, thank you Canidae and to our new friend, Langley, for writing such an amazing blog post! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

The Fire Safety Dog's recent post on "Sparkles' Kids Zone" on Firelife.com!
Even though it is early in the New Year, we have been very busy!
One
of our very favorite things we like to do is to host Fire Engineering Talk Radio with Firefighter Dayna. We did a firelife.com segment
recently and it was extra, extra special! Our show went to the dogs! BOL
(Barking out loud). Tango the Fire Safety Dog and Siren the Fire Safety Dog, along with their friends, some of
the most famous canines and their pet parents in the United States,
spent a fun two and a half hour evening on the program! Each of the
dog’s pet parents shared the incredible work that each of their dogs do
and even shared their favorite safety tips! We had so much fun!
Our
special guests included Jake the Fire Dog, Emma Zen the Biker Dog and
Team Leader of O2, Rainbow Diamond, Spokes Dog for Diamond Dachshund
Rescue, the famous Surf Dog Ricochet, Mountain Doo the Search and Rescue Puppy, and Finnagus Sage, the man hunting Bloodhound!

 Mountain Doo |
In our last column, we introduced you to our little buddy, Mountain Doo (known and “Doo” to his friends). Doo is an eighteen week old yellow Labrador retriever and is learning how to find people that may be lost and hurt. He is also learning to find people
who might have fallen in the lake or fell from
a boat! Doo’s dad, Rob, was trapped in the Joplin tornado in May 2011. Now, Rob and Doo are going to be helping others that may be trapped!

We are excited that Doo has his own Facebook page! Please join Doo's page, show the love, and tell him that the Fire Safety Dogs sent you!
We’d like to give a big shout out to our friends at PetSmart. They are helping us share our daily fire safety tips by tweeting!
Here’s one of the fire safety tips that we shared recently:
Since
many of you may live where there is snow this winter, remind the
grown-ups that you live with to make sure that the hydrants are clear of
snow around them in case the fire department needs to come!
It is hard to believe that Siren is a year and half years old! He has grown up so fast!

Until next time, stay safe!

Mountain Doo and Sparkles II
Mountain Doo and Sparkles II: Lamar Elementary gets special visit
Thank you so much to the Courier Democrat for covering the story of Mountain Doo's visit to Arkansas! (Please note that there are a couple of corrections, including that we're members of Johnson County RFD #1 and not the Clarksville Fire Department, and that we represented the Keep Kids Fire Safe Foundation).
We truly do appreciate Ms. Terry, Principal from Lamar Elementary, for allowing us to come to her school, and to Ms. Bates class for having us! We had the most amazing time with the boys and girls in her class!

Live streamed playdate with Finnagus Sage and Mountain Doo!
Fire safety dogs playdate with their friends, Finnagus Sage and Mountain Doo!
Finnagus, "Finn" is a mantrailing dog that works at the Johnson County Sheriff's Office. He and his human, Sue, are a certified man-trailing team. Finn enjoys finding the bad guys and getting cookies.
Mountain Doo, "Doo" is an 19 week old puppy training to be a search and rescue dog. He loves training with his Dad, Rob, and they live in Joplin, Missouri. Rob was trapped in the Joplin Tornado in May 2011, and he wanted to get a puppy so that he could train the puppy to grow up and find people, just like rescue dogs found him in the rubble after the tornado.
