The Therapy Dogs International group that brings so much joy to Alliance Community Hospital is showing the love to the Alliance Fire Department as well! The TDI handlers and their dogs recently donated a harness and badge to Gretchen, the Alliance Fire Department accelerant detection K9 used for fire investigations. There are only about 5 trained accelerant detection dogs in Ohio. They also provided the new addition with business cards and dog food. Debbie Anweiler, an ACH employee, did the custom lettering on the harness.
