Man Was Told His Dog Died In A Fire… Hours Later, They Found Him Alive

| January 2, 2017

When Adel Conley’s garage was engulfed in flames, he panicked, knowing his two dogs were trapped inside. One was rescued shortly after firefighters arrived on the scene. The other, he was told, had perished.

As Conley watched helplessly while the fire destroyed part of his home, all he could think about was the safety of his beloved pups. “I wanted to get my dogs out, but they wouldn’t let me go in there,” he told Wave 3 News. “I love my dogs.”

After rescuing the first dog, firefighters tried to go in for the other one, but didn’t get very far.

“With the amount of fire we had and the amount you can see, just the amount of materials in that garage, It’s not really easily accessible for us,” Lt. Col Jim Fredrick said in the news story.

That’s when Conley received devastating news: one of his dogs must have died in the fire. They didn’t think there was any way he could have survived the heavy smoke and flames. Then, hours later, a miracle happened…

Watch the moment they discovered that the dog was actually alive!
