“Chicago Fire” Adds Rescue Dog Character To Hit Drama

First they’re eating vegan and now they’re opening the firehouse to rescue dogs?
Chicago firefighters may be the best ever!
The NBC hit television series Chicago Fire has added a four-legged character to the drama featuring Firehouse 51– a lovable dog named Pouch that was found during a trip with the Chicago Fire Department last summer.
“A kid offered his dog to the firemen and said it was either going there or it would have to go to the pound for adoption,” said Derek Haas, executive producer and co-creator of the show.
Pets are great for the physical and psychological health of most people, and fireman are sure to reap the benefits of a dog like Pooch as they endure working long shifts away from friends and family in addition to the stress of responding to emergency calls.
“All firehouses have a million stories to tell about a firehouse dog, and we thought he would make a great addition,” Haas said. “Pouch will literally grow up before our eyes. Plus, pets are great stress relievers, and firefighters and rescue squads are under tremendous pressure every day, so they will appreciate her presence as a working dog.”
Watch for Pouch’s debut on Chicago Fire this Wednesday on NBC.
