POMPANO BEACH, Fla. --
Firefighters rescued an unconscious dog from a burning Pompano Beach home Monday afternoon.
According to Pompano Beach Fire Rescue, firefighters went to fight a blaze at a home in the 1500 block of Northeast 28th Street at 12:15 p.m.
Officials said the only person at home at the time escaped the house safely but told firefighters a dog remained inside.
The firefighters extinguished the flames and found the dog unconscious inside the home.
Paramedics took the dog, a mixed beagle breed named Toby, outside and gave it CPR and oxygen. The dog was taken to Acacia Animal Hospital. Fire officials said veterinarians would monitor Toby and keep him on oxygen for 24 hours.
On Tuesday, Toby was transferred to the Coral Springs Animal hospital, where he is in stable condition.
No people were injured in the fire. Fire officials said the two people who live at the house must find somewhere else to stay.
Fire officials are investigating the cause of the blaze.
