Winni, the new comfort dog for the state’s Division of Emergency Services and Communications, was introduced Tuesday and soaked up all of the attention. Winnie, a female golden retriever, will provide emotional support and assistance during challenging situations for 911 operators.

“Our skilled telecommunications at New Hampshire, 911, professionally handle emergency incidents every day, but we know sometimes the nature of the work takes a toll,” said Department of Safety Commissioner Robert Quinn, “This program will be a great addition to the department’s ongoing effort that supports the mental health and overall wellness of our employees.”
