The Old Folks Home

Well, I had to walk to the barn yesterday, every rescue vehicle in the area it seemed was blocking the road... turns out, a house had caught on fire, 6 of 7 dogs died in the fire, purebred boxers, several of which were puppies that had found homes (at $1,200 each)... no humans were hurt, I don't know what damage was done to the house, seeing as there were 4 fire trucks there, I assume if nothing else, the water damage is pretty significant....

That is really terrible! Any idea what started it?

A neighbor that was home when it started said he used to be a fireman and it smelled like an electrical fire to him. But no official word.

So Sad. Loss of life is a tragedy whether the victims have 2 feet or 4. Poor family. My heart goes out to them.

Ditto my prayers go out to the all of them

Apparently the one dog that survived was a Chihuahua. The other 6 were boxers

x 2 Microchick - poor dogs. Former acquaintances from Michigan had a fire which only killed mama dog and her 7 puppies. They raised dogs - none of theirs died but somehow in the commotion they forgot them... I remember - the beautiful mama was a dog I had given them. They seemed to have a lot of accidents in the time I knew them.
So glad I "unknow " them since that time. They didn't seem the least bit sad about it, just mentioned it briefly, in passing, to me.

Wow... I think this one happened while everyone was out, the fire trucks were already there when the little girl got off the school bus. The adults were there when the dogs were being brought out.

When the family dog is killed in the fire, it is almost NEVER arson. (First Responder Trivia)

Now I'm curious, does the arsonist go in, see a dog and turn around and leave? Let the dog out? Steal the dog? If one has planned an arson, it would be kinda hard to just give up once you get there....

No, most arson is committed by the property owner.....

and most6 often if it be the owner would they not remove the pets?
