VIDEO: A swarm of bees in a Buckeye neighborhood killed several dogs on Sunday afternoon after they escaped their hive in one homeowner's backyard.
Buckeye Police and Fire-Medical-Rescue departments were called to the neighborhood near Southern Avenue and Watson Road just before 3 p.m.
One homeowner, who wasn't home at the time, saw a post in his NextDoor app that people were being stung by an aggressive swarm of bees, and he rushed home to get his dogs who were in the backyard. "I don't know how long they were out there being stung," said Liliana Zamora.
By the time Zamora and Andrew Johnson got home, it was too late for their dogs--Koda and Rover. They said it was a devastating loss, especially knowing the trauma they went through.
"Especially knowing that they were probably running around, having diarrhea trying to get out--he saw a hole in the back door, probably trying to dig out.
