Calgary’s New Emergency Dog Minnie | Calgary News

Calgary’s emergency response just got a four-legged upgrade: Minnie, a golden Labrador retriever, is now an official CEMA team member after two years of specialized training. Her mission? To calm nerves, reduce stress, and offer comforting hugs during crises — whether she’s stationed at the CEMA facility or deployed in the field. This marks a major step forward for emotional support in emergency services, replacing reliance on borrowed animals and offering a dedicated, furry ally for both responders and the public. Minnie’s presence isn’t just heartwarming — it’s a strategic move to help people remember the human side of disaster response, not just the chaos.
