Lifesaving Companion Dog Takes On New Role With Injured Firefighter « CBS New York: "NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A badly injured New York firefighter received a companion dog whose already saved people’s lives from fire.
As CBS2’s Dave Carlin reported, disabled firefighter Tom Prin beamed as he was officially presented with his new canine companion Halona inside of a packed ceremony in Suffolk County.
The former firefighter was one of 15 people receiving their canine companions.
Prin was chosen because of what he’s been through — after fracturing his neck and back while responding to a Brooklyn fire.
“When I was going from the third to fourth floor, the steps gave out and I fell through the fire escape,” he said.
Prin has endured five spinal surgeries, but the Holtsville man will now be comforted by Halona who has quite the lifesaving resume herself."
