A group of brave workers and volunteers helped save 100 dogs from a burning building in Seattle earlier this year.
The fire broke out at a dog resort that offers daycare and boarding services for pets, and was caused by a faulty dryer vent.
Greg Hagen, one of the rescuers, told his story to the Guardian UK on May 12.

He said he was shocked when he saw the smoke and flames coming from the building, and rushed to help.
“We tried to catch the running dogs as fast as we could. Our offices have a big gated yard, so we started getting them in there,” he said.
He said some of the dogs were scared and confused, while others thought they were playing.
He tried to comfort them and reassure them that everything would be fine.
He said:
“Mostly, the dogs just wanted to keep on playing. Once we got them into our yard, they were running around and having a good old time within minutes. They have a short memory, for sure."
The firefighters managed to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading to other buildings.
No one was injured in the incident, but the resort suffered extensive damage. The owners of the dogs were notified and reunited with their pets as soon as possible.
