There is a story in our paper today about the fire. Apparantly there was only one survivor, a dog. My facts were a little off, it was one family that lost 3 of their cats. I cannot even imagine how devastated they would be, the paper said that a reporter tried to contact that family, and they weren't taking calls.
The paper had a picture of the dog that survived, he was wrapped in a blanket. The firefighter that rescued him said it was a miracle, the building burnt right to the ground, and the dog somehow managed to get out of his kennel.
There isn't any known reason yet why the fire started.
This whole story breaks my heart, I keep thinking of the animals that died. Believe it or not a person at work today actually told me that I shouldn't be sad, because the people that lost their pets would be able to sue and "make a mint". What a terrible, terrible thing to say.
