Hero firefighters rally for dog injured in house fire

A devastating 4th of July fire has left a San Jose family struggling to rebuild their lives and their home. The blaze rendered their residence uninhabitable and critically injured their 5-year-old dog, Mooni.

Mooni suffered smoke inhalation and aspiration pneumonia, requiring intensive veterinary care that has already amounted to substantial costs. Initially rescued, the distressed dog briefly re-entered the burning home before being reunited with her owners. She has since been hospitalized for over two and a half days, with daily medical expenses reaching $5,000.

Recognizing the family's plight, fellow firefighters, including Rocky Ling, have stepped in to help. They have organized a GoFundMe campaign and contributed through a nonprofit to alleviate the financial strain of Mooni's extensive medical bills. The family remains dedicated to Mooni's recovery, rotating shifts at the veterinary office while also dealing with the loss of their home.
