Thank you Firefighters for trying to save a life. I hope the poor dog survives.
“The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog.” Mark Twain.
I did not know that they got training on animal CPR, but I’m so glad they do. Thank you firefighters for helping the dog and I hope it turns out alright.
Thank for taking the training and action of CPR on a dog seriously. Dog will surely bless you all. There will be an abundance of treats waiting for you across the rainbow bridge.
Did the dog pass?
Sadly, it didn’t make it I am absolutely heartbroken for the dog and the poor family.
Motorhome vs Trailer?
Glad all are relatively uninjured, and best wishes for the dog.
A valiant effort by all involved.
A big thank you to our Humboldt Bay Fire Department. Very happy everyone managed to get out of that motorhome. I pray the dog will be ok. Some sad pictures of the owner’s home burned to hell. I sure hope the Red Cross can find them a place to stay.
