Walworth County supervisor saves dog
Joe Schaefer, a 34-year veteran of the Walworth County Board supervisor, saved a dog from a burning building today.
A fire at Michals TV repair shop in Lyons this morning killed one dog in an upstairs apartment. Schaefer and Greg Krawczyk, a technician at the shop, tried to get into the apartment through the front door, but the heat was too intense.
The men saw the small brown Chihuahua, named Chickie, laying near the door, grabbed it and ran outside.
Schaefer gave it mouth-to-snout, he said.
"We brought him back," he said. "It was like a dead carcass. It wasn’t moving. Its eyes were rolling, its tongue hanging out of its mouth. I opened up his mouth and started breathing air into it. Within a minute or two, it came back."
