But firefighter Andrew Klein managed to bring 10-year-old Nalu, a Bichon Frise/Shih Tzu, "back from the dead".
The dog was overcome by the heat and smoke of the blaze in Santa Monica, California, and was unresponsive.
Mr Klein discovered Nalu unconscious in a back bedroom after crawling on all fours into the blazing apartment"He was totally lifeless," the firefighter told the Associated Press news agency.
"After 20 minutes, the dog began breathing on its own and regained consciousness, even regaining the ability to walk around," the Santa Monica Fire Department said in a press release.
