Firefighter resuscitates dog after removing his OWN oxygen mask to save dying animal



A Detroit man stands dangerously close to his house as plumes of smoke billow out and firefighters tell him to get back.

'Did you get my dog out!?' he shouts, angry and worried in one breath.

Moments later, firefighters bring out two dogs, limp in their arms - but that's not the end of the story.

A film crew from the documentary Burn captured one brave man removing his own air supply and resuscitating the animals.

For so many reasons, Mitt Romney should fund this documentary. Via Jezebel:

why waste your time rescuing animals when you could be leveraging capital?

Tax dollars pay that guy and he wastes tax payer funded resources on a dog? Get rid of him. All firefighters should be volunteers.



I don't need to put the sarcasm tag do I?

I can't imagine that Romney would risk his life for anything more than money and power.

btw - what's this in my eye?

Grew up in a Volunteer fire fighter community. Great people who'd give you the shirts off their backs.

I am so glad they're safe!

This firefighter will have more to fear from Romney than any fire. It sucks to know the people you save are the people that will boil you into soup for profit.

First thing I look at when I get home from work leaves me a sobbing mess.

Thank you, Mr. Fireman, for saving those two dogs.
