In a state ravaged by wildfires, there is a golden bright spot. No, it’s not the flames. A sweet golden retriever is offering love and support to the weary firefighters who are bravely fighting the blaze.

The physical and emotional toll is heavy for those on the front lines of the fires that are burning throughout the west. The country is grateful for their selfless service. In Marin County in Northern California, fire personnel are receiving some extra encouragement.

“She doesn’t know there is a fire. She doesn’t know there is COVID. So, she just knew she was seeing her friends and was really happy to do so. For the firefighters, I think it really made their day,” Kerith’s owner, Heidi Carmen told SF Gate.
