SOUTH FORT MYERS, Fla. - A dog, initially believed to be dead, is recovering after firefighters rescue him from a condo fire that sent one woman to the hospital.

Brahman, a 13 year old Keeshond, is recovering at the Florida Veterinary Referral Center in Estero from smoke inhaliation and severe heat exposure.

The dog was found by firefighters without a pulse, but came to after fighters administered oxygen using a special oxygen mask.

A woman that was inside the house is listed in critical condition at Tampa General Hospital, suffering severe smoke inhaliation.

Investigators say someone intentionally set a couch inside the Sail Harbour condo Tuesday afternoon.

The State Fire Marshal's office is handling the investigation.
