VIDEO: A Manhattan Fire Department driver's job has a new meaning. That's because he gets to spend his days alongside his new best friend. Kody Songs has the hardest-working partner on the Manhattan Fire Department.
“They can do the work that we do in half the time or less, so they are a really great asset to have.” Manhattan Fire Department, Driver, Kody Songs says.
And with four-legs to Songs’ two… Duke the K9 gets twice the attention. “Everybody loves dogs, so having him around, he’s just a great asset, and letting people see, kinda what we do and then it’s a good way to explain how well these ‘disaster dogs’ work and what their purpose is.” Songs says.
A memorable call sparked Songs’ interest in search and rescue -- and convinced the department they needed to add a recruit like Duke.
