When the firefighters’ brigade arrived, they quickly got Leo out of the house, who was laying on the kittens to protect them from the fire.

The dog was in bad condition, who needed heart massage and the oxygen mask.

The heroic dog could die, but, fortunately, he received all the necessary help and medication to stay alive.
