A dog who almost died in a fire in east London has been fostered by the firefighter who saved her life.
Millie the Jack Russell Terrier was rescued from the horrific blaze back in June by the London Fire Brigade and now lives with lead firefighter Jamie Trew.
Millie's owner was treated on scene for smoke inhalation by London Ambulance Service crews and taken to hospital, but firefighters learned that Millie was still trapped inside the building.

Station officer Dean Ivil, who was at the scene, said: "When crews arrived there was a fully developed fire in the ground floor bedroom. They were met by a woman outside who told them that her dog was still inside the flat.
Firefighters then entered the building and carried out a thorough search, before finding a lifeless Millie under the bed.
The officer added: "They quickly bought her outside and attempted to revive her. They gave her oxygen and used cold water to cool her body temperature and after 10 minutes she showed signs of life.

Phew!
After a short stay at the vets, Millie has now been fostered by lead firefighter Jamie Trew, who found her.
