Not only did firefighters in Eloy, Arizona rescue a lifeless dog from a fire, but they offered up their own money to make sure the animal's veterinary bill was paid.
On February 11, crews with the Eloy Fire District responded to calls of a house fire. They did not find any humans inside the residence, but Eloy Fire Captain Ethington did find a dog in the laundry room of the home.
Tucker, a small black dog, was not breathing and was lifeless, fire crews said in a Facebook post.
Crews began resuscitation efforts and gave Tucker oxygen.
Ethington along with an assistant fire chief took the dog to a veterinarian office in Casa Grande after fire crews treated the animal.

Tucker is expected to make a full recovery, but the family has set up a GoFundMe account to cover additional costs.
