Chicago Fire had a VIP guest on the set recently. Smokey, the winner of the Chicago Fire Top Dog competition, showed up to shoot her appearance on the show which her earned by being voted Top Dog.

The Labrador/Retriever mix from Station 2 in Jacksonville, Illinois will appear in a May episode of the NBC drama.

While he was on the set, Smokey was given the full star treatment, including a gift basket and her own director’s chair.

Smokey’s Bio:

As a 6-month-old puppy, Smokey was inside a home that was engulfed in flames. Eventually, her lifeless body was brought out and, with the aid of firefighters and a veterinarian, was kept on oxygen for three days, hand-fed, and nurtured. Now, she is a training tool for school children and the community as the firefighters have taught her safety techniques such as “stop, drop and roll,” among other civic duties the 4-year-old pooch performs.
