3 FDNY Dogs To Be Picked For Cute Calendar

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.

  • handsomedevil

    what a bunch of handsome faces bravo to the fdny for adopting real dogs

  • Guest

    And you want the ones that didn't adopt them to die horribly in a fire, right?

  • handsomedevil

    if every person who doesnt have a dog would adopt one from a shelter there would be no more shelter dogs and no more senseless deaths but people are way to selfish for that to happen. so yes they should die in a fire for being selfish and not caring metaforically speaking of course LOL

  • youngpro

    so we should all force ourselves to adopt a rescued dog even if we dont want a dog (be it rescued or not) or cant have one due to allergies.

    do you see why you look so stupid all the time?

  • handsomedevil

    whats stupid is whining about "allergies" or "inconvenience" or "personal prefrence". shelter dogs are everybodys responsibility because we have all let them down and without YOU they will die

  • youngpro

    wtf are you talking about? some people are deathly allergic to dogs and so cannot have a dog- period- be it from a breeder or a shelter; youre saying we should all adopt a rescued dog regardless of the individual's situation. youre a very, very selfish person.

  • youngpro

    irony!

  • youngpro

    as opposed to adopting fake ones?

  • handsomedevil

    dogs that are made by breeders for money are artificial and thats why they have so many problems. mutts are the real dogs. plus if the dogs intentionally mated with each other as oposed to being forced to do it you can think of them as doggie love children LOL

  • 2nd to last photo, white poochie, gets my vote for cutest of the pack.

  • Guest

    He was my second pick. My first goes to the bulldog.
