A "lucky pupper" is showing his appreciation for the firefighter who saved his life after a freak accident in New Hampshire last month.

Fire officials say Ziggy the dog was playing outside when he cut his leg on a solar light that was buried beneath the snow. A dog sitter, who was watching Ziggy while his owners were away on vacation, saw that he was bleeding heavily and started to drive him to the vet.

But as Ziggy's bleeding got worse, the dog sitter decided to stop by a Campton-Thornton fire station and ring the doorbell to help. That's where firefighter and EMT Paul Spring worked with first responder Mark Roland and Lt. Basil Sole to save Ziggy.
