SANTA YNEZ, Calif. – On Wednesday, Santa Barbara County Fire Station 32 in Santa Ynez welcomed a very special visitor for what would be his final ride. Perses, a loyal dog with a lifelong love for fire engines, came to the station with his owner, Tyler, to say goodbye.
For years, Perses’ ears would perk up and his tail would wag at the sound of a fire engine roaring to life. He was known for his trademark howl whenever sirens rang out. That was his way of celebrating the work of local firefighters.
This week, due to declining health, Perses was brought to Station 32 in Santa Ynez for one last visit. The crew at Station 32 made sure the moment was unforgettable…
