I respect those who risk teir lives just for pets, I am not belittling the pets but risking their lives over a pet. These people need not just award but a raise in the salary.

Firefighters deserve a pay raise for the work that they do to save lives of humans and animals alike.

I bet dog was like barking. What are you doing in my home. Dogs that do not run from fires are scary, Means they were protecting the family still and ready to die if need be. Could have just been trapped and scared but most are crafty and I seen many dogs coward and just run, screw this family.
