Brothers Phoenix and Ash became internet sensations after they were rescued from the fire. The shelter said Phoenix came in singed all over with burned paws while Ash survived without a scratch.

Rescuers believe that Phoenix covered Ash with his body during the fire because, in the shelter, he continued to cover his brother with his body. The brothers were cared for and recovered at the emergency animal shelter.
