Tour of CNN Express!
Hi boys and girls!
At first, Firefighter Dayna asked if I could have my picture taken by the CNN bus, then next thing I know, thanks to my new friends, Matt and Dale, I get to go inside to check it out!
Here I am with Matt. He gave me the royal tour! See the CNN logo behind us to the right? Isn't that so cool? I also had my eye on the fruit on the table next to Matt. BOL.
Then, I was dying to see what was in the back of the bus, so I went to check it out!
Then, I had to pose with the whole inside of the bus behind me!
I was really lucky! I got to even pretend that I was driving the bus! That was SO COOL!
My friend, Dale, then took me out for a walk. I had a great time! When we got back to the bus, he told Firefighter Dayna that he wished that I could go on a ride with them! I wish, but I would have missed Firefighter Dayna and all my friends. It was so nice of him to think of me! I even got lots of ear scratches!
It was then time to go. I had a great time! Thanks, Matt, Dale and CNN!

Hi boys and girls!
Tango the Fire Safety Dog here. I am so excited to be heading to Joplin today to participate in the "Walk of Unity" with my friends from the PAWS Search and Rescue Alliance (the dogs from PAWS were very instrumental in finding many people after last year's F-5 tornado) in Joplin.

Read all about the Fire Safety Dogs on Fire Engineering Magazine's Firelife.com!

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!

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.

Tango the Fire Safety Dog Attends BlogPaws 2011
Hi everyone! This is Tango the Fire Safety Dog. I had an amazing time at BlogPaws 2011 in Washington, DC!
Here I am checking in:
I met many of my wonderful Facebook friends, and I made new friends!
PRESENTATION WITH TRAVELIN' JACK and PETSMART
One of my favorite things to do was to make a presentation with Toni Eberhardt from PetSmart and Travelin' Jack and his human, Jill, during our "Leveraging Niche Blogging for Success" panel discussion. It was so much fun!
I was also very excited to go the the screening of Disney's "Spooky Buddies." It was a great movie and will be coming out soon! I even got to meet the Director. How pawsome!
If you would like to see a copy of the powerpoint of our presentation, click HERE.

Until next time, stay safe!
