A Wells, Maine, firefighter received some puppy love when he helped save a dog that had become trapped on a roof. Photos and video posted on May 27 show the dog stuck on the roof before kissing his rescuer from the fire department.

“This beautiful dog managed to get out onto the roof of his home thru an upstairs window,” police said on Facebook. Police received numerous calls about the dog, and one person stood by with the dog until emergency workers could arrive.

A video shows Capt Jeff Nawfel attempting to get the dog to go back through the window, though the dog doesn’t seem to want to go inside even after he looks inside. “He’s stubborn,” someone calls from the ground.
