Great job by Boston Firefighter Sean Coyle. That took a lot of guts and made the day of a grateful family and of course Sylvie the Husky.

Great job by BFD indeed!

Owner should be cited and fined though.
Come on people, if you can't keep your dog safe you really shouldn't have one.

The irresponsibility of the owner could've ended this incident tragically. Perhaps they should be billed for the rescue.

If the dog is not in an area where off leash is allowed, it should be on a leash. Unfortunately, some folks are scofflaws...

Yes, we should also be billing the drug addicts for all of the Narcan runs done by EMS.

And don't forget fantastic Herald photographer Mark Garfinkel, it is his pictures that make it a story.
