Really, he's not just a dog to me, he's like my own child. You'd have to really have a pet and very willingly (not cos your spouse/bf/gf forced one on you) to know the feeling.

Sit down with the widow of a firefighter and his orphaned children who died because you opebned a window and caused a huge backdraft while trying to save your dog and see if this story carries the same weight. If this guy ran into a burning building before the firemen arrived, ok - that's cool. Once they show up, let them do their job.
I love pets, but the value of a human life is far greater.
This guy put the rescue workers in peril, and we're just the results weren't tragic.
