A neighbor across the street saw the FDNY bring out the tenant's dog, Bella.
The neighbor, Dean, took in Bella and brought her to the Emergency Veterinary Hospital...
There's now a crowdfunding campaign to help pay for Bella's recovery.
Per the GoFundMe appeal:
While Bella's long-term prognosis is good, after numerous exams and tests, her immediate needs include receiving oxygen, IV hydration, and an overnight stay in the oxygen tank. While the long-term plan for Bella is still being figured out, and no next of kin found yet for the victim,Dean, without hesitation, signed off on anything Bella needed at the hospital and has taken on the expense personally.

aww what a tragedy. Glad the pup is okay,
Done. Thank you, Dean.
Does anyone know if it's a service dog?
Thank you Dean. Bella may not be a trained service dog but certainly acted like one. They were always together and neighborhood fixtures. She is a small dog, very well trained and was usually off leash. She has excellent manners and is very sweet. Will miss seeing Bobby and Bella. May he rest in peace.
Hi this is Dean. Thank you all for your support, we spent the afternoon with Bella and some close friends of Robert’s at the animal ER. Bella is still in recovery and suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning as well as smoke damage to her lungs. It will be a long recovery but she is a resilient animal and we are all rooting for her. She is hoping to see you all walking around the EV soon enough. Thank you for the donations to her fund.
Well-played. What a lovely neighbor, RIP to Bobby.
Thanks for the update, Dean!
I saw sweet Bella in the hall and lobby of the bldg while visiting my friend. I hope she recovers, has a good life and I see her in the neighborhood.
Thank you for your kindness, Dean.
I needed this reminder there are lovely people all around us.
Dean, your care for Robert’s dog are a true act of love. The universe put you at the right place at the right time to look out for Robert and Bella. Thank you for taking it on. EV GRIEVE thank you for these updates and directions to the donation page, really appreciate it.
Dean, hi, thanks for doing this for Bella! She’s well-loved in the neighborhood. I’ve donated some funds, but please see the email I sent at gofundme link…I’ve got lots of Farmer’s Dog Food for her if you need it. 😊
Is there any information about a funeral? I knew Bob from back in the day. Would like to pay my respects.
