It was a team effort by local firefighters and EMS responders when a call about a Pasadena house fire came in and the caller said they heard a dog barking inside.

Pasadena, Arcadia, and Sierra Madre firefighters responded to the fire. No one was home, just a six-year-old sheltie named Milo trapped inside the burning home. 

Sierra Madre firefighter Jessica Johnson rushed into smoke-filled home and found the dog unresponsive. Johnson told ABC7, "I barely could see him. I just kind of picked him up, brought him outside, and realized you could feel how limp he was."

Being a dog owner, she understands how they are part of the family and was glad to help. Firefighters provided oxygen to the dog and were able to revive him after several minutes. Milo was brought to Pasadena Humane for further care until he could be reunited with his family. 

The heroes were praised online for their quick actions that saved Milo's life. California State Firefighters states that dogs have only 10 to 15 minutes to survive in a heavy smoke-filled house fire. According to Pasadena Firefighters, Milo was in the home for at least eight minutes and was rescued just in time. 

Milo has mostly recovered with just a slight cough, which his family reports should clear up. His owner, Leticia, is beyond grateful to everyone involved in saving her beloved dog and personally thanked everyone during a reunion where the heroes were able to see Milo doing well.
