Rick Dunton on Charlotte Fire Department’s First Therapy Dog, CAT from K-9 Caring Angels
In this video, Charlotte Fire Department’s Rick Dunton shares the story behind the placement of their first on-site therapy dog, CAT—an English Cream Golden Retriever bred and trained by K-9 Caring Angels Dog Training. Rick discusses the inspiration behind launching the department’s therapy dog program, how it was funded, and the many ways these dogs support both firefighters and the community.
From mental health and emotional wellness to public outreach, fire safety education, and PR events, therapy dogs like CAT play a growing role in the fire service. Since CAT’s successful introduction, K-9 Caring Angels has placed two additional therapy dogs—Phoenix and Asher—who continue to serve Charlotte’s firefighters with purpose and heart.
