Over the weekend, personnel from Fire Station 19, Dulles South, responded to a vehicle crash and were directed to a dog that was inside one of the involved vehicles and assumed to have sustained injuries from the crash. She was in obvious distress and very lethargic. As a result, E619 and TW619 retrieved the pet oxygen masks carried on BC603’s vehicle, applied oxygen, and comforted the dog while Humane Law Enforcement from Loudoun County Animal Services responded to the scene. Humane Law Enforcement transported the dog and owner to a local vet for treatment, where she is expected to make a full recovery.

Did you know various Loudoun County Combined Fire and Rescue System units carry pet oxygen masks as part of their equipment? These masks were donated several years ago and are specifically designed to form a tight seal around a pet’s muzzle, allowing us to provide life-saving care to our furry friends during emergencies.

The animated feature Flow didn’t just walk away with an Oscar — it sparked an unexpected social ripple. Its tale of a black cat navigating a ruined world hit audiences so strongly that shelters across the country began reporting a sudden rise in black cat adoptions.

Historically, these animals have struggled to find homes because of superstition and bias, but the film’s resonance helped flip that narrative almost overnight.

One striking example came from Laredo, Texas, where the nonprofit Best Friends for Life hosted a screening with real rescue cats in attendance, turning a cinematic moment into an adoption drive. The wave of interest underscores how storytelling can shift deep-rooted cultural attitudes, proving that film can do more than entertain — it can rewrite the odds for those left behind.

On September 11, 2001, as chaos unfolded in the North Tower of the World Trade Center, a guide dog named Roselle became an unexpected hero. She calmly led her blind owner, Michael Hingson, and a group of over 30 people down 78 flights of stairs to safety. Despite the smoke, noise, and confusion, Roselle remained focused and composed, helping others stay calm simply by her presence.

During the descent, Roselle paused only once, to comfort a woman having a panic attack. She gently nuzzled and kissed her, offering reassurance in the most human way a dog could. Her quiet strength and unwavering loyalty helped transform fear into courage, allowing the group to continue their escape even as the building trembled around them.

Roselle’s actions that day became a symbol of trust, training, and the extraordinary bond between guide dogs and their handlers. She continued to serve until 2007 and passed away in 2011, but her legacy lives on as a reminder that heroism can come on four paws, with a wagging tail and a heart full of love.

Apparently the trick to getting the phones back in working order is to make official posts about them being down - our phone lines are up and running again!! 🙌
