Pit Bull Burned In House Fire Gets Second Chance As A Firefighter

When Jake the puppy’s home caught fire just three weeks into his young life, it looked like it might be the end for him. His family was able to escape, but in the mayhem, Jake became trapped. Even as he tried to flee, the ceiling collapsed, leaving him helpless in the blaze.

Suddenly, a neighbor and off-duty firefighter, Bill Lindler, heard Jake’s family screaming about a puppy trapped inside their home. With no time to spare, Bill grabbed some of his gear and got to work.

“I literally found Jake in the last place you could see before the smoke became pitch black and was too dark to navigate through,” Lindler said. “He wasn’t doing too good, and I gave him mouth-to-snout breaths until we could get an oxygen mask for him.”

Jake was taken to a local emergency veterinarian’s office, where a vet warned Lindler that there was a chance that the pup might not survive, Lindler said.

But little Jake “was a fighter,” Lindler added.

The firefighter soon found out from the vet that Jake’s original family couldn’t afford the medical bills and that “they had abandoned him,” he said. “So I adopted him!”

The pup was treated with antibiotics and morphine for over a month, Lindler said. He explained that the vet staff would “have to scrub dead skin off him everyday” and that Jake had to undergo laser skin therapy.

“All in all, it was about four months of recovery,” he said. “Of course, even when he came home, we still had to continue putting special antibiotics and ointments, and his scars will always remain. We actually have to put sunscreen on him when we take him to the beach.”

Once Jake was fully recovered, Lindler said he allowed the pup to accompany him to the station.

“All the guys fell in love with him, and the ladies at town hall always have treats for him,” he said. Lindler added that Hanahan’s fire chief and mayor actually proclaimed Jake an honorary firefighter and swore him in as the official mascot for the fire department.

Lindler said he hopes to soon be able to train Jake to become an arson detection dog.

“He loves sniffing and snooping around when I play with him and hide his toys,” he said. “So I figured, hey, he might be a good fit for being a detection dog.”

Lindler proudly said of his pup, “He is awesome. Very loving and happy-go-lucky spirited.”
