Heroic firefighters pulled a Chihuahua from a burning building and resuscitated him in a miraculous rescue.
The dog, named chopper, was saved from the blazing maisonette in Brixton on Monday morning.
Firefighters found him lying at the top of a set of stairs as they battled the flames, before pulling it from the building and bringing it around.
Station commander Paul Sadler, who was at the scene said: "Two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus found the dog laying on the floor at the top of the stairs. The Chihuahua called Chopper was brought out of the property and fire crews started giving chest compressions and administered oxygen."
He added: "Chopper thankfully came round and was taken to the vets for a precautionary check up. The firefighter's actions undoubtedly saved the dog's life and he is now doing ok."
Photos from the scene showed the dog cradled in the arms of a firefighter, with an oxygen mask over his face.
A woman and a child had also been in the building, in Loughborough Road, but escaped the building uninjured.
London Fire Brigade was called to the scene at 11.15am and the fire was out by 11.54am. Its cause is under investigation.
