The puppy survived after firefighters performed CPR and provided oxygen through a mask designed for pets, according to a Facebook post from the Santa Monica Fire Department.
While some firefighters cut into the roof to “allow for the release of super heated smoke and fire gasses,” others entered the unit to find a dog, unresponsive, overcome by the heat and smoke.
The dog was pulled out of the apartment not breathing and without a pulse. But after 20 minutes of first aid, the puppy began breathing on its own and was able to walk, the Fire Department said. Neighbors took the dog to a local animal hospital.
“That a boy,” the firefighters can be heard saying to the dog, patting it as it receives oxygen.
