A Chihuahua’s life was saved Monday afternoon when a firefighter pulled the dog from a burning home and gave him mouth-to-snout resuscitation.
In all, three dogs were saved from the blaze at 1920 Chamberlin South, said Darren Pellett, the Stratmoor Hills firefighter who rescued the small dog. No people were in the home when the fire broke out about 1 p.m. and burned the home’s main level.
The dogs were found hiding in a back bedroom and were saved after firefighters made sure that no one was trapped in the house, Pellett said.
“When I pulled him out, he was starting to get stiff and he was on his last legs,” Pellett said of the Chihuahua. “I was trained how to do CPR on humans and I figured it couldn’t be that different to do it on a dog.”
