Journée Mondiale du Chien: Heartwarming Tales from Brest and La Roche-Maurice

Gasko: The Golden-Hatted Hero of Brest

Since retiring in September 2021, Gasko, a male dog from Brest's canine brigade, has left a remarkable legacy. During his career, Gasko completed over 2,239 operations, helping confiscate 144 kg of cocaine. His last mission yielded 913g of cannabis and 2,000 euros in cash. This incredible dog was instrumental in keeping the streets safer.

Loustic: The Heroic Shepherd Who Saved Lives

In a critical moment on November 16, 2017, Loustic, a German shepherd, intervened to wake his owner, Jacques Salaun, during an apartment fire. Thanks to Loustic's timely actions, the fire crew arrived just in time, preventing a potential tragedy. Two years later, Loustic was honored by Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo for his heroic deeds.

Scully: The Dental Therapy Dog of Brest

At the CHU de Brest, the 2-year-old golden retriever named Scully has been helping patients conquer their fear of dental visits. Her calming presence has proven effective in easing anxiety and making procedures more manageable. Patients are now enjoying a more relaxed experience, all thanks to Scully's comforting influence.
