Service dog, Bea, lays on the jacket and helmet of her owner, Letterkenny Army Depot firefighter Buddy Niner.
For the first time in history, LEAD’s Fire and Emergency Services onboarded a firefighter and service animal team when Buddy Niner and his dog, Bea, joined LEAD on June 17.
Bea, a trained five-year-old black American Labrador retriever, fulfills a range of tasks for Niner. These include waking him from nightmares, operating lights and doors, retrieving objects and delivering items to others. When she senses his high stress levels, she provides comfort through deep pressure therapy by lying on him. In public, Bea circles around Niner and leans against his leg, serving as a reassuring presence.
