The dog that fire crews worked so hard to save on Tuesday has passed away.

According to the Bangor Daily News, Sterling, a 3-year-old Lab mix, was trapped inside his owner’s burning Belfast camper Tuesday morning. When the fire was out, first responders found Sterling and resuscitated him using an oxygen mask. His owner, Scott Saucier, said toxins from the smoke inhalation were just too severe. He plans to bury Sterling on Thursday. (Bangor Daily News)
