Aussiedoodle Offers Comfort to First Responders | Irvine News
Description
A two-year-old Aussiedoodle named Oro is making waves as Laguna Beach Fire Department’s first Critical Incident Stress K-9, stepping in during high-stress rescue ops to calm crews and remind them it’s okay to not be okay. Inspired by Huntington Beach’s pioneering dog Kingman, these specially trained canines are part of a growing movement to support first responders’ mental health—offering nonjudgmental comfort amid trauma. With handlers like Logan Strook seeing Oro as a vital emotional lifeline, these furry allies symbolize a deeper commitment: that asking for help isn’t weakness, but strength.
