Pawsitive Attention News and Events:
This article appeared in the February 1999, Lynn Item. A reporter came to interview my co-worker and I the day after we saved a young Boxer dog from drowning under the ice in the pond at our office park.

Pet Oxygen Masks Donated to Middleton Fire Dept.
The Middleton Fire Department recently received two sets of pet oxygen masks that will help resuscitate animals suffering from smoke inhalation. The masks, which cost $75 apiece, were donated to the department on June 3rd by a local pet care business owner.
Julie Annese, owner of Pawsitive Attention Dog Walking and Pet Sitting of Danvers, donated the oxygen masks after noticing that the Middleton Fire Department was not on a list of departments that had received the kits.
"I wanted to do something for the community and for the pets. I have two dogs of my own and would be heartbroken if they could not be saved in the event of smoke inhalation due to lack of proper equipment".
The cone-shaped plastic masks come in three sizes and fit snugly on a snout. They can be used on dogs, cats, rabbits and other small animals, and also birds.
While firemen attempt to get pets safely out of burning structures, they are not able to revive them unless they have the proper equipment — pet oxygen masks. These specially-designed animal masks can be used both on conscious pets that have suffered from smoke inhalation and pets that need to be resuscitated after losing consciousness from exposure to the dangerous toxic fumes.
