When flames tore through an apartment building, firefighters rushed to save lives. Among the smoke and chaos, one of them found a small dog collapsed on the floor—lifeless, barely breathing.

Carrying him outside, the firefighter refused to give up. He knelt on the pavement in full gear, giving oxygen, working desperately to bring the little one back. Minutes dragged on until, at last, a cough, a breath… and the faint wag of a tail. The crowd erupted in tears and applause.

Thanks to that determination, the dog is expected to make a full recovery. For the firefighter, it wasn’t heroics—it was simple: every life matters.
