Furry Friends: Dumb Friends League Blessing of the Animals

“Wag’N” Donates pet masks

Carol Monaco, with Marketwise Insights, Inc., recently nominated Greater Brighton Fire to receive pet oxygen masks through a company called Wag’N. Brighton Fire was selected and Wag’N has donated pet O2 masks through a program called “O2 Fur Life” that provides the necessary equipment for pet rescue breathing. Greater Brighton Fire is one of only 14 fire departments in the State who have received pet O2 masks through this program. Five kits were donated through the program, which provides for one set of three masks for each of our five fire stations. Each kit contains three masks of different sizes for various size pets. The kits have been placed on the fire engines and crews have been trained in using the masks. Thank you to Carol and Wag’N for the generous donation.

Regardless of your religious affiliations or philosophy, the Dumb Friends League invites you to join in the celebration of all creatures—great and small.

In conjunction with the traditional feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, the League is holding a Blessing of the Animals on Tuesday, Oct. 4, from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Bring your four-legged friends to the Dumb Friends League, 2080 S. Quebec St., where a brief ceremony will be held in the Sheilagh R. Malo Pet Memorial Garden. Admission is free, and refreshments and snacks will be served following the ceremony. R.S.V.P. by calling (303) 751-5772, Ext. 7307.
