Wis. Firefighter Gains Global Fame for Dog Rescue

WAUSAU, Wis. -- Last Tuesday was just another day on the job for Wausau firefighters Jared Thompson and Jamie Giese until they saved a dog rescued from a house fire by giving it mouth-to-snout respiration. After their heroic episode was captured by a local newspaper photographer and hit the wire services, they gained international recognition. "We've gotten e-mails from Brazil, Australia and Switzerland,'' Thompson said in a weekend phone interview.
