Teddy, the crisis dog who helped first responders during the first weeks of the condo collapse in Surfside, took his first steps back home in Philadelphia after becoming unable to walk.

Teddy, a 6-year-old basset hound lab mix, served 3 weeks in Surfside as a crisis response canine, with only one job, putting smiles on the faces of first responders.

On Wednesday, Sophia Barrett, Teddy’s mom, sent a video to CBS4 of Teddy taking his first steps since returning to the City of Brotherly Love.
