“Clara was chosen because she used her skills and training to identify an undetected gas leak at her recipient’s place of employment.
Clara’s recipient, Brandi, stated that they could smell natural gas at her place of work. They called the gas company, but when they came out, they could not find any leaks. Then one day, Clara and her Brandi were smelling the gas while on break. Clara walked over to a pipe on the building, sniffed, sat, and howled. Brandi realized Clara was alerting to the gas leak.
The gas company was called again. This time, they checked the specific pipe that Clara had led Brandi to, and they determined that it was the source of the leak. Clara’s amazing alert prevented a possible explosion and fire, which could have ended in tragedy for the 33 employees.”
