What a cool pic of the Chief and his/a dog. It’s almost like they are in color camo for that environment.
It’s great to know that they are promoting from within! Congrats Chief!!!

I remember a similar picture of a firefighter holding onto the dog of a homeless man who was arrested for arson in a Samoa homeless camp. I’m noypt sure if this is the same dog.
