She ran inside to grab her dog before contacting police and her mom, but it was too late.

The house caught fire due to faulty wiring, according to a GoFundMe page, that had raised more than $1,200 as of Monday morning.

Yu is an aspiring musician and lost all of her recording equipment in the blaze.

She and her family are staying in a hotel apart from their dog.
