Molly the Dalmatian earned a special spot in the hearts of children nationwide through fire safety education. Since 9 weeks old, Molly helped Arkansas-based retired firefighter Dayna Hilton teach kids about home escape maps, crawling low under smoke and everything in between. Copper storage disease claimed the 10-year-old dog’s life in December, a week and a half shy of reaching children in her 50th state of Idaho. "I know Molly was looking down on us that day," Hilton said. Molly the fire safety dog traveled across the country each year for a decade with her owner, former firefighter Dayna Hilton. Molly died of copper storage disease in December 2022. For a decade, Hilton says she and Molly reached classrooms virtually – as far away as Russia – and traveled nearly 25,000 miles across the U.S. each year as part of the Keep Kids Fire Safe Foundation, which Hilton began in 2009.
