Early Tuesday morning, Bradenton resident Leroy Butler's home caught on fire around 2am at 15th East Street.
Butler had been living in the home for 18 years when flames began to form in the attic near the air conditioner.
the home's fire alarm sounded, but quickly failed.
It was Zippy that began barking and didn't stop barking until the family was awake.
'He was a part of the fire alarm, he was barking,' Butler said.
Butler and his family made it out safely, but he couldn't get to Zippy when he tried to go back in for the little hero.
Zippy's small body couldn't get past the large flames.
Zippy was adopted by Butlers father at the Humane Society of Manatee County for two children.
He was a good dog. He did his job, we rescued him, and I guess he returned the favor,' Butler told WTSP.
Zippy was reportedly found after the fire hiding under a bed inside the home.
He died of smoke inhalation.
