A daring rescue of a husky by firefighters and animal control officers took place after a high-rise apartment building caught fire at Virginia Beach.
The Virginia Beach Fire Department reported that the fire was at an apartment building on 34th Street and Pacific.
The 15th floor was ablaze with fire and the dog was unconscious when a firefighter found him.
They immediately got him oxygen after they finished carrying him down 15 floors to the street.

His owners were later notified and he is expected to make a full recovery.
God bless the firefighters for saving Igor….beautiful dog.
Just makes me mad that the owners left their dog behind in the first place.
