Firefighters say the house was completely engulfed when they arrived.
One of Crane's best friends spent much of Sunday salvaging pictures and personal items for Crane's family.
He said its fitting Crane gave his life trying to save his dog. Richard Imel, best friend, says "That's why he is where he is now. He's always said that my dog is my soul-mate without him I have nothing."
Snoopy's now living with Crane's family members. County investigators plan to figure out the cause of the fire later this week.
