Wind Point Village President Bill Bensman presents the Lambergs with a certificate and Becky, the dog, with a medal for having a nose for news. Back in January, Becky sniffed out a natural gas leak near the corner of Meriburr and Tera Lee while she was walking with dad Len Lamberg. While WE Energies says residents and homes were not in danger, every leak is addressed immediately to avoid any potential problems.

Len Lamberg's dog, Becky, was honored with a certificate and a medal from Wind Point Village President Bill Bensman for sniffing out potential trouble.
Back in January, Lamberg was out with Becky - a deaf, mixed breed dog whom Lamberg rescued years ago - for their evening walk when she started worrying at something on the street. When Lamberg followed her over, he smelled what she did; a natural gas leak.
While homes and residents weren't in any danger, WE Energies got the leak repaired and credited Becky's nose for the alert.
"I think she's a hero," Lamberg said. "She might be deaf, but her nose works just fine."
