This is one good boy. A two-year-old dog is being recognized as the hero he is after saving his owner from a fire.

When a fire broke out at 3 a.m. in an RV in Clovis, Calif., Charlie the Labradoodle woke up his owner Chad McCollum and would not stop barking until he noticed the smoke and flames — and called 911.

"I walk over to the corner of the yard where he's barking and I see the plume of smoke up in the sky and kind of an orange glow," remembered McCollum, according to local news channel ABC-30.

Thanks to Charlie, his owner quickly awakened the people inside the nearby burning homes and rescued them to safety. Ultimately, no one was injured and the fires were extinguished by the Clovis Fire Department and Fresno Fire Department.

Now, Charlie, who is also part Dalmatian, is being honored by the Clovis Fire Department. "Members of the Clovis Fire Department later delivered a fire hat and badge to Charlie as a thank you, and neighbors dropped off a 'medal' for the four-legged hero," the fire department shared in a statement posted to its Facebook page.

Charlie also received some gifts from his owner, according to the fire department, which was "a special treat or two later that day."
