VIDEO: Some South Florida firefighters are being hailed as heroes for a different kind of rescue, after they found a dog left tied up to a flagpole outside their station and gave him a second chance at life. What started as any other Saturday morning for Fort Lauderdale firefighters quickly turned into a search for a home. Early in the day and without a knock on the door, Fort Lauderdale Fire Station Battalion Chief Kimberly Wells said, a 1-year-old dog was abandoned in front of their station. “Before our crew change at our station, one of our captains arrived at work and found said pup that we have since named Peanut. We found Peanut tied to a flagpole, well, to be abandoned, with a bowl of water left with them.”
