I'm glad the firefighters gave the dog oxygen. We tend to forget sometimes that animals have lungs much smaller than ours.

That " house" looks a bit patchwork.
Wouldn't have taken long to burn
Glad the dog was saved

We wouldn't refer to that as a house
Chalet maybe.

Often it is smoke inhalation that kills people in fires.

I guess firefighters, and fire chiefs, are always on duty, ready to respond to situations like this. Good on them, a good rescue.
