SoCal resident are banding together in an effort to recover and heal what’s left of their community [Video]

Southern California is in for another round of extreme wind and fire weather this week. While some residents are being proactive about new fire threats, others are in the process of recovering from what has burned down. But, they’re not doing so alone. 

Bernie the Bernedoodle is part of a crisis-response team. He traveled for eight hours with his human from Tucson to Southern California to bring support to victims of the wildfires and first responders.

“He’s been doing a great job of making people smile, especially when they’re under duress and in less than perfect conditions,” said Bernie’s handler Jim Watts.

Bernie had a busy schedule the moment he arrived, stopping by ambulance services and elementary school students.

“Twice, we were at the Pasadena Police Department, went through the roll call. We went all over the 911 center, we went all over the police department,” said Watts.
