PUEBLO, Colo. — Pueblo firefighters reunited with the dogs they pulled out of a house fire last week.

Firefighters responded to a fire on the south side of Pueblo last Wednesday. When they arrived, two dogs were inside the home. “I thought they were dead. I screamed. I fell to the floor,” said Sara Davila, who lives in the home on Bobcat Lane.

Firefighters found the dogs hiding underneath a bed on the second floor. Once they were out of the home, firefighters used special masks designed for animals to resuscitate Roxy, a three-year-old Miniature Pinscher, and Kasper, a six-year-old Jack Russell Terrier. “After breathing in all the smoke what they need is a high concentration of oxygen and what these allow us to do is to be able to seal the masks around their nose in order for the concentration of oxygen to be really high,” said firefighter Josh Sprague.
