Middletown paramedics worked diligently to save the life of a dog trapped in a Middletown house fire this afternoon.

Several paramedics gave the dog oxygen in the front yard of a house in the 3000 block of Bexley Drive. A woman arrived a short time later, jumped out of her car and screamed: “My dog.”
