Firefighters pulled an unconscious dog from a smoke-filled Pasadena home on Wednesday, Sept. 9, and revived the animal on the front lawn in 104-degree heat.

The dog, a 6-year-old Shetland Sheepdog named Milo, was the only one inside the one-story house in the 400 block of Michillinda Avenue when the fire broke out in a rear bedroom. Sierra Madre Firefighter Jessica Johnson found Milo hiding under a table during a rapid search of the home, the Pasadena Star-News reported.

Crews from the Pasadena, Arcadia and Sierra Madre fire departments responded after dispatch at 1:09 p.m. The first engine arrived at 1:14 p.m., and firefighters forced entry through heavy smoke pouring from the attic, according to Pasadena Now. The fire was knocked down by 1:30 p.m.

After Milo was brought outside, a rapid intervention crew used a pet oxygen mask over his snout to resuscitate him. He was up and walking about five minutes later, according to first responders. The dog was taken to Pasadena Humane for evaluation.

"We got him about eight minutes into our operation … I think if he's in there any longer I don't know if the outcome is the same," Pasadena Fire Department Battalion Chief Trey Sorensen said at a press conference Monday, Sept. 14, outside the damaged home.

Arcadia Fire Department Captain Drew Pryor said the blaze was difficult to locate because it had burned into the floor while sending smoke throughout the house and into the attic. Pasadena Fire Department spokeswoman Lisa Derderian said aggressive fire attack and ventilation kept the damage to the rear bedroom.

No one was injured. Four residents were displaced but declined further assistance. Derderian estimated property damage at $100,000 and the value of property saved at $1.5 million. The cause remains under investigation.

The response included five engines, two trucks, a rescue ambulance, three battalion chiefs, a deputy chief and two arson investigators. Pasadena Police, Pasadena Water and Power, the Gas Company and Pasadena Animal Control also assisted.

At the Monday press conference, Milo played fetch on the front lawn and showed no signs of his ordeal. Homeowner Fernando, who declined to give his last name for privacy, made T-shirts for the firefighters with Milo's picture on them. Homeowner Leticia, who also withheld her last name, said Milo is on antibiotics and has a follow-up veterinary appointment scheduled.
