After being rescued from a fire, both humans and animals need to recover from the shock and benefit from some sympathy and care.
Here we see a moment of respite for this little poodle in Connecticut who was rescued from a burning building. Covered in ash, this little pup is taking a much-needed sip of water, straight from the bottle. This probably isn’t normal behavior from the dog or the firefighter, but it looks like these two have a special bond and will be friends for life.
“I Didn’t Like That at All”
We think this might be what was running through this cat’s mind as it was saved by a firefighter. From the looks of it, we can see some ash on the firefighters’ jacket and so perhaps the cat was caught in a house fire, which is a nightmare for any person, let alone a poor helpless animal like this little kitty.
The cat looks very appreciative to the firefighter and is maybe deep in thought about what a close call that was and how it might serve it well not to chase birds or hiss at dogs.
Mouth-to-Mouth
Housefires are frightening things and can be life-threatening to humans and animals alike. At one house fire in Wisconsin the firefighters re-entered the burning building to rescue Koda, the families 7-year-old dog.
Unfortunately, Koda was in a terrible state and wasn’t breathing. The firefighters on the scene, James and Jared, had to think on their feet about how to save the dog’s life and decided to perform mouth-to-nose resuscitation. Amazingly it worked, and the Koda, as well as all the family, are happy and safe.
Lucky Dog
China’s Sichuan province was subject to a natural disaster which left buildings in a terrible condition, and people and animals trapped inside.
This lucky dog was found by two rescuers and is being pulled to safety from inside a collapsed building. The rescuers have risked their lives here as the building looks precarious and very unstable. It looks like they were all happy to have discovered this stranded dog, and the dog seems to be cooperating with its rescuers. We hope that it was reunited with its family in no time and that it goes on to live a happy life.
The Rescue Attempt With A Tragic End
In 2017 the Thomas fires swept through Los Angeles leaving many homes ravaged by flames. Some footage of a man tempting a rabbit towards him so that the rabbit wouldn’t get caught in the fire went viral.
Sadly, when their bodies were retrieved from the water by those who witnessed the incident, they were unconscious and attempted to resuscitate them were unsuccessful.
