Paramedics Priscilla Braley and partner Sean Connolly administered oxygen and some water to the frightened puppy who, after some tender loving care and a lot of affection, seemed to be just fine.

The fire caused extensive damage to the two story home and the cause has been determined to be the result of careless disposal of smoking materials.
