VIDEO: After a “ruff” start, one puppy has found her forever home with Buffalo’s bravest.
“I never thought she’d fall right in my lap. She’s perfect for me,” said Buffalo firefighter Anthony Pulvino of Engine 19.
On April 5, two high school students saw the puppy get hit by a car near Forest Avenue and Grant Street. The students picked her up and brought her to Engine 19 for help.
“They were on roller skates and they said we just saw a dog get hit by a car, what can you do? We’re trained to deal with human patients. Every once in a while something like this happens,” said Buffalo firefighter Trevor Dugan, who was at the fire hall that day.
“I’m not even a dog person really but it melted my heart the second I saw her. She was just that cute,” Dugan said.
The puppy was in bad shape and had an injury on her back leg. The firefighters put their training to use.
