SACRAMENTO — Sacramento firefighters found a puppy near the site of a debris fire on Tuesday, and now one of their own is fostering him, CBS13 reported.
The young dog had bits of burnt plastic on his fur.
Firefighter Mike Thawley at Station 19 is fostering the puppy while the Front Street Animal Shelter works on finding him a permanent home.

“He perked up pretty good when we gave him water, a bath, some food,” Thawley said. “[We] started picking off some of the plastic and then yesterday [his] personality started coming out: Tail wagging, following us around, chewing.”
Thawley is a veteran dog fosterer and adopter, having taken in Chunk, a formerly abandoned pit bull, several years ago.
