Dogs are so helpful to humans that we have enlisted their help in various fields. We have police dogs who can chase down bad guys and sniff out hidden items. We have military dogs who can warn our troops regarding bombs or suspicious people. But with the fire department, dogs are usually just there to boost morale and break the ice. Firefighters no longer use their aid to do their job.
However, this aspiring furry firefighter did way more than just receive cuddles and play with people. When this video was taken, it was right before the storm season in Harderwijk, Netherlands. The local firefighters were all hands on deck removing trees that could break and fall.
By doing this, the city eliminates the chances of incurring more damage from these old trees. While the firefighters were pulling one of the them down with a rope, some residents in the community watched and took videos of the operation. A little later, some of the younger audience started giggling.
The firefighters were a little confused as to why these people were laughing. When they looked at what was happening behind them, they saw a dog, ferociously pulling the rope with them! We all know how doggos love tug of war, perhaps he thought the men were doing exactly that.
Whatever the case may be, it was touching to see the pooch helping the firefighters with the task. Seeing the pup giving all that he’s got made some of the men laugh, and giggling while exerting force is not a good idea. But we could bet our bottom dollar that none of them complained.
The pooch was hailed as a hero in the small town of Harderwijk, and rightly so! This pup’s humans must’ve been so proud that their fur baby was helpful to the community. If we were his humans, we’d give him a nice reward, and that means tons of doggie treats!
