PHOENIX - A 1-year-old boy is in extremely critical condition after being found in the family pool Tuesday.

Air15 captured video of the home near 35th Avenue and Thunderbird. You could see the house has green and murky pool water and a short fence.

Fire officials said five adults lost track of the boy until they found him in the pool.

A neighbor heard the commotion and jumped over the wall to help the baby.

Firefighters said a dog attacked the neighbor as he tried to perform CPR, but he's expected to be okay.

The circumstances of how the toddler got in the pool are still unclear.

Firefighters performed CPR on the boy before transporting him to the hospital.
