A dog is recovering Sunday afternoon after being trapped in a San Jose house fire.
The fire broke out on Sunny Vista Drive near Westfield Valley Fair shopping mall just before noon. The family of five was not home, but a miniature dachshund was inside.
Firefighters used a heat-sensing camera to find the little dog hiding under a bed. The dog was not hurt, but the home did have major damage.
Investigators believe the fire was sparked by an electrical outlet.
