Firefighters saved an eight year old golden retriever who was brought from the house unconscious and unresponsive due to severe smoke inhalation.

They resuscitated the dog, Maggie, after several minutes of CPR and oxygen therapy. 

She was taken to the local emergency vet for observation and released a few hours later.
