                    RECOGNIZING SHERIFF CRAIG NOBLES

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Sheriff Craig Nobles of Long County, Georgia, for his heroic actions 
saving 22 dogs on May 24, 2021.
  Sheriff Nobles was responding to a brush fire and discovered 22 dogs 
tied to trees in the wood line. After containing the scene, first 
responders successfully saved all 22 dogs that are now safe and 
healthy.
  The First Congressional District is fortunate to have Sheriff Nobles 
serving and protecting not only the people in the community, but man's 
best friend as well.
  After seeing the faces of the 22 dogs, I am thankful for the first 
responders who rescued these dogs that are now able to find a loving 
home.
  I am proud to rise today to congratulate Sheriff Nobles, the Long 
County Sheriff's Office, and the Long County Fire Department for their 
great work in saving these precious animals.
