VIDEO: There is a new addition to the Myrtle Beach fire crew.
The Myrtle Beach Fire Department welcomed Winston, a mental health dog, to the crew late last year to help reduce stress and support the well-being of the city’s firefighters.
“He was born to be a firefighter,” Lt. Brian Whittington said.
MBFD said Winston can be seen around the community during neighborhood walks and at events. The fire department encourages residents who encounter Winston during public appearances to stop and interact with the therapy dog.
