A local fire department is getting some help saving the lives of pets, using special oxygen masks, thanks to a donation that comes less than a month after the successful rescue of one family's pet.
Medina resident Rae Clark was at dinner with family on November 9 when she received an unexpected call from local police.
"It said police on my caller ID and I look at my husband and said, 'Why are they calling me? I didn't do anything' and I handed the phone to him and he answered," she said.
The caller told Tim, her husband, that there was smoke coming from their Court Street home and firefighters were responding to the residence.
"I hung up the phone with her and and then I said to myself 'the dog. George is in the house.' And then I called them back and said 'my dog is upstairs. Can you get him out?" Tim explained.
