Before taking the pup back to the shelter, Animal Control asked the firefighters and other rescuers if anyone was interested in adopting the dog, since he had no home. Dekalb Company 24/Facebook Firefighter Patrick Harrison, one of the rescuers who brought the puppy to safety, decided to adopt the pet on the spot. The puppy is already being called “Company 24’s new best friend,” according to the department’s Facebook page.
