Police aren’t the only ones with canine assistance: Meet Henny


Special guests today at Our Lady of Guadalupe School in West Seattle — Fire Captain Steve Baer and fire dog Henny, a four-year-old Lab. Capt. Baer says that Henny is one of only two arson-investigation dogs in our entire state; she started her “career” as a seeing-eye dog, but was “too distracted” so she moved on to fire-dog training; she lives with the Baer family. OLG preschool and kindergarten students got to pet her after Capt. Baer’s presentation about their work. (For a little more info, here’s an announcement from when Henny joined the Seattle Fire Department three years ago.)

    What a sweet picture of kids and canine! A welcome respite from the bad news about the deli robbery.

    Guadalupe seems to do some pretty neat projects for their students. Makes me wish I was school age again. Keep up the good work!

Sorry, comment time is over.
