I am happy that the dog is okay after the firefighters were able to revive the dog using their special equipment to give him or her air to breathe.

That's a big dog, poor thing. The resident should have let the dog out after calling the fire department.

You have a good point that the owner of the dog made an error in judgement during the fire in the garage by not letting the dog out of the home during the fire.
