A Plush Salute to K9 Buzzy
After seven years with Fort Worth Fire, K9 Buzzy is heading into retirement—with a little plush look-alike made in his honor.

Hats off—and paws up—to Buzzy.
For seven years, K9 Buzzy has served with Fort Worth Fire as an accelerant-detection dog. Now, as he heads into retirement, one thoughtful gift is helping mark the occasion.
David Zehring came to Plush in a Rush with a tribute in mind: a yellow Lab plush paired with a custom bandanna for Buzzy. The little look-alike was also planned as a surprise for Buzzy’s handler, Scott Allen.
David later sent us this photo of Buzzy beside a Fort Worth Fire vehicle, with the plush pup nestled between his paws. The finishing touch is right there on the white bandanna: BUZZY.
Thank you, David, for letting us be a small part of this tribute. And to Buzzy and Scott: thank you for your service.
Here’s to a well-earned retirement, Buzzy.
“The plush lab was dedicated to him and for his outstanding service to his community, the State of Texas and nationally.”
