Surfside Crisis Response Canine Who Could Not Walk, Teddy Goes Home In Style

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – His bags packed and his green dinosaur toy in tow, Teddy was finally getting ready to roll out of town on Tuesday.

Scooped into the trunk of his car by his mom and dad, Teddy hit the road as he began his trek back home to Philadelphia.

Teddy served 3 weeks in Surfside as a crisis response canine, with only one job, putting smiles on the faces of first responders.

“If Surfside taught me anything, beauty in humanity, even in dark spots.”

Struggling thru a dark spot of his own right now, Teddy, as it turns out, tore two hind knee ligaments and got a herniated disc in his back because of all of his hard work in Surfside.

Teddy had no way home until the team at Titan Aviation Group got wind of this pooch’s predicament.

The owner of Titan donated $10,000 to send Teddy and his entourage home in style.

Jake Blouch, Teddy’s Co-Owner said, “It’s not really real to me, an incredible act of generosity thought this would never happen, but here we are.”

His gofundme page got more than $24,000 for Teddy to go back home in style.

The toll of driving or flying commercial would have been too much for this hero. Instead, he is flying in the lap of luxury on this Hawker 800XP private jet.

CBS4 was told Teddy got up on his own four legs during the flight to the City of Brotherly Love.
