Jones expressed gratitude for the firefighters’ swift response, which ensured the safety of his dogs, who were in a room adjacent to the laundry room.
“It was not safe to go inside the home, but you can see the melted laundry detergent bottle and charred clothes that the firefighters tossed out onto the front porch,” Jones said.
All six German Shepherd-Husky puppies are doing well.
“And the fire department did their due diligence and they saved the pups. They went in there and grabbed all six of them because it was pitch – completely black in there,” Jones said.
