Rather than what seems the daily doom and gloom here is a news story that is a little more light hearted.
Traffic stopped on the George Washington Parkway near Reagan National Airport Tuesday afternoon so a medevac helicopter could land, but the patient wasn’t human — it was a very special dog.
The 6-year-old German shepherd named Kylie works for D.C. Fire and EMS as a cadaver dog, but she and her handler Sgt. Paramedic Gene Ryan travel to other places to share their expertise.
D.C. Fire and EMS spokesperson Vito Maggiolo said that on Tuesday in Northern Virginia, the dog seriously hurt one of her hind legs while helping another law enforcement agency conduct a search.
Maggiolo did not disclose the name of the agency or the reason for the search, but he said U.S. Park Police and the Arlington Fire Department sprang into action help the dog.
