I'm sorry for the pupper and his family, but as the wife of a firefighter, I have to defend them. There are extremely strict rules regarding how and when a firefighter can enter a building. If they violate those rules, well, if they are lucky, they get fired, but there is a dang good chance they will die. Those men and women were doing an extremely difficult, dangerous job. They put their own lives on the line to save others every day. I know it seemed slow, but I am sure they worked as fast as they could. Unfortunately, saving pets is at the bottom of a firefighters list of things that must be done when they are preparing to enter a burning building. Personally, I want my husband and his crew members to be as safe as they can be when they enter a fire.
Everyone should have a plan for getting their animals out in the event of an emergency though--especially if you have multiple animals. Moving 21 dogs would be complicated, but we've got a plan if we ever have to!
