Let’s celebrate National Dog Day!
At Crested Butte Fire Protection District, we’re lucky to share our lives with some pretty great four-legged friends. From department dogs to the pups we meet around the community, these loyal companions bring plenty of joy, personality, and occasional distractions wherever they go.
Swipe through to meet some of the dogs who belong to our members and a few memorable pups we’ve met along the way. We’re grateful for every wagging tail, wet nose, and enthusiastic greeting.
Help us celebrate by sharing a photo of your favorite dog in the comments!
