Seattle firefighters prove all life is precious when they found a family of pet hamsters — father Oreo, mother Madonna and their three teeny little babies — suffering from smoke inhalation after they put out a house fire. Nobody was home but they found these little guys. Administering first aid on any animal can be tricky, especially for creatures as tiny as baby hamsters. But this fire crew had been trained to treat animals, and they came equipped with a “Pet Emergency Pocket Guide” to help them through the process. The firefighters fashioned an itty-bitty oxygen mask out of a piece of plastic tubing, delivering oxygen to each of the tiny house fire victims. Despite the firefighters’ quick-thinking, one of the baby hamsters was unable to be saved. The other four, however, pulled through — even though the blaze may have left their fur coats a little blackened with soot. Battalion Chief Tim Hulse says that, alongside the hamsters, firefighters also found a precious document: a marriage certificate, written in crayon. Apparently they were married ... The family had made a marriage certificate for Oreo and Madonna, Hulse told news station KTLA. It was pretty cute.https://thedodo/firefighters-make-an-itty-bitt-742268187.html
