The dog was saved, and his wife and daughter were rushed to the hospital for medical attention. While Larissa, the mother, has been discharged, their daughter Maya suffered severe burns covering 70% of her body and remains in critical condition, receiving ongoing treatment at the hospital.

The police are currently investigating the cause of the fire, with a suspected short circuit in the TV set being a prime suspect.

Hugo Sergio was laid to rest at the Inhauma Cemetery, where family and friends gathered to pay tribute to his heroic actions. He worked at a gym in the city, and his grieving wife, unable to attend the funeral, mourns the loss of her brave husband who sacrificed his life to save their family and beloved pet.
