HANAHAN, S.C.–William Lindler is more than just a firefighter. For one 9-week-old puppy, he’s both a superhero and lifesaver.
The Hanahan firemen recently told WCIV-TV that not long ago he returned home from work and noticed smoke coming from his neighbor’s yard.
“I ran back into my house, grabbed some firefighting gear and ran across the street. The residents were yelling their puppy was in the building,” Lindler told reporter Valencia Wicker.
Without skipping a beat, the brave fireman rushed to save the 4-pound puppy from the fire.
“He was a hurtin’ little puppy,” said Danielle Cromb, a vet technician at the Animal Medical Clinic of Goose Creek. “He was burned on, I would say 75% of his body, including his paw pads.”
Today, the puppy continues to recover from his injuries–but now he has Lindler to help him.
“The family had abandoned him at the office,” Lindler said. “That’s when me and my family decided we would adopt him.”
Lindler told the TV station that over time, he’d like to get the pup certified to be a therapy dog for burned children.
