A Macomb County deputy is getting some kudos after hustling to rescue a dog tethered to a burning home.

The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office released body camera footage of the rescue on Tuesday.

First responders were called on the afternoon of Feb. 17 to a home in Macomb Township. The owner said a fire sparked in her basement near her dryer.

First responders were able to get the caller to safety, placing her in a patrol vehicle. Then, Deputy Eric McCombs ran to the house’s side yard to find the woman’s dog.

The bodycam footage shows McCombs run to his supplies to grab a leash and take off toward the smoking house. He found the large, white dog with a chain attached to its collar.

The dog initially backed away from McCombs, but eventually let him slide the leash around his neck and remove the tether. The two ran away from the house and McCombs brought the dog back to its owner.

“The outstanding communication by dispatch and the quick actions of the MCSO deputies on scene ensured the safety of the two residents of the home and the family dog,” the sheriff’s office said.
