Oxygen Masks for Pets


I think I pulled a muscle rolling my eyes over this one. The Toronto Fire Department has joined a host of others in now carrying pet-sized oxygen masks to the fires it attends. This is a great idea! When my neighbourhood is burning down, I certainly want to see a bunch of firefighters trying to fit oxygen masks on Fido, Polly and Mr. Whiskers. And according to the Toronto Star, the masks will even be "small enough to resuscitate a parrot." Thank heavens. I know firefighters have been saving pets from burning buildings for so many years that it's cliched, but this seems to be taking it a step far.
