Ruff justice: Neapolitan mastiff crowned World's Ugliest Dog 2017 Read moreBakersfield firefighter Matt Smith pulled the unconscious Shih Tzu from behind a smoldering sofa in the house. Firefighters rubbed the dog’s chest and used an oxygen mask specially designed for pets to revive Jack. The firefighters’ good deed paid off as the dog came to on camera, panting heavily but alert. Jack was under the care of a veterinarian until Thursday, when he was reunited with his owners and his rescuer, Smith.
