Firefighters reunite with dog they rescued from Pasadena house fire

Two police officers play fetch with a leaping dog in a park

A Pasadena family’s dog reunited with his rescuers, who pulled him out of a house fire that nearly killed him last week. Owner Fernando said he was out of the country when his wife and kids left their 6-year-old sheltie Milo home alone while they ran some errands. They said a delivery person who happened to be passing by not only saw the smoke but also heard their dog barking and called 911.  Moments later, Ring cameras captured Arcadia firefighters breaking the front-side window. Seconds later, Sierra Madre firefighter Jessica Johnson went into the home.

It was the second-year firefighter’s first active house fire call.  “When I got on scene, I just listened to my captain’s orders and went to work,” Johnson said.  Even as the Pasadena Fire Department arrived, no one heard any barking. Using a thermal imaging camera, Johnson navigated around the heavy smoke. She found Milo after reentering the home three times.  “He was in the living room, right behind this window, just under the table,” Johnson said. “I just happened to catch a glimpse of him, went over, grabbed him and pulled him out.” Milo had suffered major smoke inhalation. Johnson handed the unconscious dog to the team standing by with an animal oxygen mask. 

By that time, Fernando’s wife was rushing home, praying to see her dog again. “Please God, make sure Milo is doing OK,” Leti recalled saying. “Because if not, I don’t know what I’m going to do.” Five minutes passed before Milo suddenly rolled over. While he was dirty and dusty, the family was greatful their beloved Milo was alive.  “I just couldn’t believe he’d just gone from the verge of life and death to basically his normal self,” son Fernando Jr. said. 

On Monday morning, Milo reunited with his rescuers, each of whom received a custom smiling Milo shirt. The family will be out of their home for at least a few months, but they’re grateful to be whole after a veterinarian said Milo will fully recover.

Sacramento County program lets people take shelter dogs on free park adventures

Posted on by Leave a comment
sad dog behind bars in animal shelter

It’s a free pass to take a walk in the park this summer if you include a new four-legged friend. Sacramento County’s animal shelter is kicking off a new program called Barks and Recreation, encouraging people to take dogs out for the day. For shelter dogs like Frankie, most of their days are spent inside a cage. Brittani Peterson, with Sacramento County’s Bradshaw Animal Shelter, says a new program is now helping to change that, allowing people to take pups out to parks for free.

“It’s a fun day where maybe you’re not ready to adopt, but you want to still have that animal interaction and take a dog out for the day,” Peterson said. The dogs come with a backpack that includes a leash, treats and other supplies. Participants are given a pass that allows them free entry to any of the 30 Sacramento County parks, including the American River Parkway. “You can bring the pup to go play in the water, there’s picnic areas, there’s a lot of different trails to walk,” Peterson said. People are also asked to fill out a report card describing the doggie day out.

“Are they playful, are they excited, polite, shy? Kind of giving us more information on the dog’s personality,” Peterson said. The new program is being launched at a time when the Bradshaw shelter is over capacity, and they hope it will help encourage more adoptions. “Hopefully you fall in love with the dog if you see they’re fit for your lifestyle, and it’s kind of a tester for you to get the dog out, see how they are outside of the shelter,” Peterson said.

People interested in participating in the program can book an appointment online by going to the Sacramento County Animal Care website. “You just get to explore and set yourself up for a fun day,” Peterson said.

Hero Husky Saves Boy from Possible Bear Attack by Charging Wild Animal

Hero Husky Saves Boy from Possible Bear Attack by Charging Wild Animal Getty ALANA MASTRANGELO8 Jul 202627 A Husky is being hailed as a hero after saving a 6-year-old boy from a possible bear attack in Torrington, Connecticut. Video footage shows the boy standing in his driveway when a bear suddenly comes within a few feet of him — at which point the family dog, Bella, charges the wild animal and chases it off. The husky can also be seen biting the bear as the dog forces it away from the child and their home. “She always puts herself in between strangers and the kids, but you always wonder in the back of your head, ‘What’s going to happen if she needs to protect us?’ And now we know,” the boy’s father, Jeff Tazzara, told News 8 of the family dog.

Tazzara added that he plans to reward Bella with one of her favorite treats — a T-bone steak. Jason Hawley, a wildlife biologist with the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, told the outlet that the husky rescuing the boy was the best-case scenario, and urged people not to assume that such encounters with wildlife will necessarily end in the same manner. “In that situation, the dog worked out perfectly,” Hawley said. “It kind of made it an uncomfortable situation for the bear.” “Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work out that well, so we usually advise people to try to keep their dogs somewhat contained or keep an eye on them,” the wildlife biologist added.

The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection has also asked the public to report any bear sightings so that officials can use the location information for research and bear management. The National Park Service advised those who come in contact with a bear to stay calm and immediately pick up any children who may be nearby without creating “loud noises or screams.” People who encounter a bear should then “slowly wave” their arm above their head and instruct the bear to back off, the agency — which also recommended that those exploring a wooded or remote area carry bear spray — added.

Dog shoots woman with shotgun at Nebraska convenience store

funny adorable dog of beagle with harness

Police responding to reports of a shotgun blast at a convenience store sounds like the opening of countless American crime movies, but when cops in Nebraska responded to a recent such call they found an unusual culprit: a dog. Local TV station KNOP News 2 reported that police in the town of Scottsbluff were called out to a local store recently after reports of a blast involving a shotgun. Upon arrival they found a truck with blast damage in one of its doors and a woman who had been struck in the arm by a pellet from a shotgun.

However, investigation showed a canine cause behind the shooting when it was revealed the blast happened as the vehicle had pulled up to the store as a dog had been moving from one side of its back seat to another. Somehow, the dog had triggered the shotgun – which had a live round chambered – to fire, damaging the vehicle and striking a female passerby. The victim was taken to hospital though not seriously injured. It is illegal in Nebraska to drive with a loaded shotgun in your vehicle.

Dog saved by vets after eating seven chocolate Easter eggs

A dog has made a miraculous recovery after eating seven Easter eggs. Owner Katrina Gordon had arranged a display of chocolate for her 3-year-old son, Leo. It consisted of seven Easter eggs and other bars nestled in the back of a toy tractor and covered with plastic. But while the pair were out, Golden Labrador Holly ripped through the plastic and devoured nearly every piece of chocolate. Thankfully, the family was able to take Holly to an emergency clinic in their hometown of Belfast, where veterinarians administered medication to encourage vomiting. The family is eager to raise awareness of the dangers of leaving chocolate around dogs at Easter. Katrina said, “We’d got him a toy tractor with a trailer, and I’d filled it with seven Easter eggs and chocolate. “I put clear wrapping over the top to cover it and then had to pop out with Leo.

CARENCRO, La. (KLFY) — A family and its dogs were rescued from a mobile home fire Sunday morning, and the Carencro Fire Department has released video of one of the dogs being taken out of the burning structure. The Carencro Fire Department, along with Lafayette and Scott Fire Departments, responded Sunday to a reported house fire at 649 Braquet Road in Lafayette Parish with possible people and animals trapped inside. The homeowner confirmed that all occupants were out, but said one of the family’s dogs was still inside the bedroom.

During the fire, Firefighter/Operator Jake Richard conducted a search and successfully located the family dog, “Chop,” removing him safely from the home. After getting Chop out, Jake returned inside to assist crews with extinguishing the remaining fire, officials said. The Carencro Fire Department released video of the rescue in a post on its official Facebook page. “This helmet camera footage gives a firsthand look at the conditions firefighters face when operating inside a house fire with zero visibility, in a home they had never been in, while fire conditions continued to worsen and temperatures kept rising,” the post read.
