There's no denying that we Americans  have a deep affection for our pets. They're practically family, and most of us would go to great lengths to protect them. UFC legend Mark Coleman  exemplified this when he bravely rushed into a raging fire to save his beloved dog.

Recently, Coleman's home was engulfed in flames, resulting in the tragic  loss of his family dog, Hammer. Despite the peril, Coleman fearlessly charged into the inferno in a desperate  attempt to rescue his furry companion. However, his valiant efforts left him with severe injuries, and now he finds himself fighting for his own life.

From TMZ:


Coleman, who was visiting his parents at his childhood home, was woken up around 4 AM by his rottweiler Hammer as the fire began to burn, according to his daughter Morgan.

Mark sprung into action, immediately rushing to Mom and Dad, and escorting them to safety. They were unharmed.

Knowing Hammer was still inside, Coleman rushed back into the burning house in an attempt to save his beloved dog, risking his own life.

Tragically, Hammer didn't survive ... and the home was totally lost.

Mark's daughter confirms he was airlifted to a local hospital where he is receiving around-the-clock treatment.

MC's friend, Wes Sims, provided a bit of a medical update late last night, saying Mark "made movements" at the hospital ... though it's clear he'll have a long road to recovery, and it won't be cheap.

Mark's daughter even started a GoFundMe on Wednesday to raise money for expenses related to her dad's care ... with a goal of raising $50k.

It's likely meeting that goal won't be a problem. In just a few hours, there have already been 250 donations made, totaling over $13k.
