Terrified dog given oxygen after firefighters pulled him from under bed in smoke-filled home

A dog which took shelter under a bed has survived a fire with the help of emergency workers who located the pup and administered oxygen.



Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) crews were called to the home in the Vermont suburb of Melbourne, Australia, at about 6:30pm on Sunday when neighbours reported smoke inside the property.



Crews were able to bring the blaze, which was believed to have started in a television, under control. The home's owners, who were not home at the time, contacted fire crews and asked them to look for their pet dog Angus the Cavalier King Charles spaniel, who was inside.



Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus did another search of the home and found Angus hiding under an upstairs bed. The dog was given oxygen and recovered quickly. A fire department spokesman said animals responded to oxygen in the same way as people. Angus was then given a bath and is recovering with his grateful owners Henry Wai and Ellen Lin.
