"The Animal Rescue League's Animal Services commended the Des Moines firefighters who helped save a dog from a fire. First responders reported to a house fire on the south side of Des Moines this week. The family was outside, but their two dogs were in the home. According to the ARL Animal Services, one of the dogs died in the home. However, the firefighters rescued the second dog, Prince, and resuscitate him. Prince was seen by a vet for smoke inhalation. \"Creature Comforts in Ankeny stepped up to squeeze him in as soon as they could the next day,\" the ARL Animal Services wrote on their Facebook. \"They not only gave Prince a thorough exam, they went above and beyond, shaving him and giving him a bath to wash the soot and grime away.\"According to the post, the family lost all of their belongings and one of their dogs, but the family members and Prince were safe. \"Once the fire was over, one of the firefighters who had saved Prince's life sought him out to make sure he was truly OK,\" the post stated. \"As the firefighter came over, Prince stood up on his hind legs against him, as if to say thank you. 'Alright, buddy,' the firefighter said, smiling as Prince snuggled close. 'This is the way we want to see you.'\" "
