A firefighter’s job is more than just a job. It’s an around-the-clock life lived by some of the bravest and most dedicated people in the world. A firefighter never hesitates when it comes to putting their lives on the line to save others, and their heroism isn’t limited to just helping people.

Watch as these dedicated firefighters from Oak Park, Illinois, rescue and resuscitate a dog trapped in a house fire. After suffering from smoke inhalation that left it inches away from the end, the team brings this dog back from the edge of death and reunites him with his family. It’s a touching series of events that will leave you weeping for hours after seeing these brave heroes at work.

I’m beyond grateful for these often unsung heroes. They understand that a pet is a member of a family, too. Thanks to the team’s incredibly hard work, this little guy didn’t suffer any injuries and is making a full recovery. I bet his family is more than thankful for this lifesaving display of bravery.
