The San Francisco Fire Department's K-9 unit recently received national recognition with a grant that they'll use to buy food, toys and equipment for their working dogs.
The unit was awarded $250 by biohazard cleanup company Aftermath Services and given an honorable mention above thousands of departments nationwide.
Rivera trains all kinds of dogs from working to personal, but specializes in training working police and fire dogs. The K-9s are trained to perform a wide range of tasks like tracking at-risk humans, searching areas and detecting suspicious materials. "The dog is not looking for target odor, because it thinks it's looking for its ball. The dog knows that once it's finds target odor, the ball won't hear. So we're not really tricking the dog," said Rivera.
Xoro's top priority is keeping the firefighters safe but he's equally a companion for the community, so long as he's rewarded with one special treat.
