People News reported that the young chap was already on-board a school bus when he saw smoke coming from his family home.
Assi requested that the driver stop the vehicle, and subsequently jetted off to his house to rescue the animal.
Narrating his experience to Fox-10 Pheonix, he said, “I go through the backyard, I open the back door and I start yelling for him,”

"He comes out through the backyard. He sat in the backyard … he wouldn’t move.
"We were too close to the house. I had to pick him up to bring him out through the front yard."
Reda Bigler, a Phoenix Fire Department captain praised the boy whom he described as smart for not rushing into the house to save the dog.
Instead, he stood by the entrance and called unto the Pit bull.
“It’s not even that fire hurts people, it’s that the smoke can render someone unconscious very quickly.

“But [Mike] was smart. He didn’t run in, even when the door opened.”
It was all about loyalty and affection for Assi who mentioned that he was not deterred by the fire though the dog belonged to his sister.
