ATLANTA — Body cam footage shows an Atlanta officer running into a burning building to rescue a dog.
WFLD reports that officers and firefighters responded to a house fire on Jan. 7 when Officer Robert Wrinkler noticed a dog inside the building.
Wrinkler carried the dog away from the burning building as the animal struggled to breathe. Other officers joined in and administered aid to the canine.

The dog slowly started showing signs of life before an EMT brought an oxygen mask.
Police said they eventually brought the dog to a vet and have named him “Smokey.”
Smokey was reportedly in good condition and put up for adoption.
“We are so incredibly proud of the compassion and love our officers showed for this animal,” the Atlanta PD wrote in a Facebook post. “We also thank the firefighters with Atlanta Fire Rescue and Grady’s emergency responders for helping save Smokey.”
