Cape Girardeau, Missouri – Firefighters in Cape Girardeau made an unexpected discovery after putting out a car fire on South Sprigg Street earlier this week. According to the Cape Girardeau Fire Department, Engine 1 arrived to the scene and found a car burning on the frigid 13-degree day.
After extinguishing the flames, a live pup was found in the backseat. The department explained the car, and the puppy, had been abandoned by the car’s owner, writing:
This car and dog had been abandoned by the owner of the vehicle, so the dog was immediately extricated and brought inside a local convenience store. This dog was given Oxygen via our Pet Oxygen Masks!

All is well that ends well for this lucky pup, who not only survived being abandoned and trapped in a burning car, but got a new home to boot. The fire department said:
One of our firefighters provided him a new, warm home and we are so glad that this dog survived the fire and is miraculously alive and well at this time!

If the car didn’t have a license plate the vin number,if still visible can be used to find owner
Many thanks for the crew who helped this poor helpless puppy and especially the firefighter who gave the pup a home! I just pray you find this dirty lowlife scum who attempted to burn the pup alive the same treatment!!! Find the bastard and make him die a horrendously horrific death! We don’t want him on this planet.

Love happy endings!
Thank you very much firefighters
Obviously the puppy has a better life now, thank goodness for the firefighters. I hope you find the disgusting individual who did this and make sure they pay dearly.
It shouldn’t be hard with this burning car, must have had a license plate whereby they can find the POS who left the car and dog in the burning car. This is a felony and should be treated as such.
Restoring faith in what there is left of humanity! So glad the pup has a great home. As for the monster that did this, rot in effing he’ll.
Love this! We see so many tragic stories that we forget there are decent people out there! So glad this came with a happy ending! You gave me a little hope again for this world! Thank you sir for stepping up and doing what’s right! ❤️❤️❤️
What a man! What a pup! This is one of those rare stories that cheer and inspire us. Many happy years together and don’t let anyone come between you.
God bless you 🙏 you’re a special person giving this puppy a loving safe home
