Fort Worth, Texas ยท 25 May 2026

Firefighters at Fort Worth Fire Station 8 arrived to find a dog tied up outside, sitting next to a three-page handwritten letter titled "Safe Place." The letter was from Tom, a disabled veteran who had been homeless for roughly 20 months and had run out of ways to care for the dog he called his baby. "I have nothing but my baby Jake," he wrote. "Please help my baby."
