“Maybe a dog’s head on your lap can generate some calmness,' a therapist and former firefighter said.
“Wednesday,” the sweet manipulator, has already puzzled out how to reap treats and belly rubs from tough veteran Vineland firefighters and emergency medical techs.The five-month-old Labrador retriever puppy is a relative rarity: a therapy dog for first-responders, in training to de-escalate the tension and lower the cortisol level of frontline trauma personnel.
Vineland first responders believe Wednesday is the only therapy dog in South Jersey that belongs to a specific municipality’s fire, EMS, and police departments. Sure enough, acquiring Wednesday was the idea of 28-year-old Millennial Kennedy Santiago, an EMT and the Lab’s handler. On her own time, she rescues and fosters dogs.
The city of Vineland paid $600 to buy Wednesday. And Joe Nick K-9 Training of Vineland is donating the year-long training Wednesday will need to be a certified therapy dog. She lives with Santiago and her family, but comes in to work every day.
