A house fire on Vickers Street North was quickly handled by fire rescue.
Crews at Fire Station 1 noticed smoke and flames from across the street around 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
When firefighters got on the scene they confirmed there was nobody inside.
However, they quickly learned that there was a dog inside.
Crews brought the fire under control and searched an apartment unit in the house and found the dog.
The dog received treatment for smoke inhalation.
The home has two other apartment units, but they are unoccupied.
Fire rescue believes the cause of the fire was bedding too close to a heater, but the fire is still under investigation.
