The firefighters usually get all the glory when it comes to shaking their "tails" for charity, but now there are some new (furrier) faces: the firehouse's cute canines (most of which are strays the firefighters have adopted). A charity calendar is coming out this fall and will be the first ever to honor the pups—and amongst the 12 will be 3 city canines. The NY Post is hosting the contest to narrow down the 12 to the final 3, so you can vote over there—we're going with Ladder 122's Nikita, because who can resist a this photo?
Other dogs will hail from New Jersey, upstate and Connecticut... but we think they should all be from the big city.
