Firefighters in Forest Lake, Minnesota say two dogs were safely rescued from a house fire Saturday night and another dog died Sunday morning.
According to officials, firefighters responded to a structure fire at about 7 p.m. Saturday. No one was inside, but there were three dogs inside at the time. The house and garage suffered extensive fire, smoke, and water damage. Authorities said the dogs were in fair condition and transported to a veterinarian for further examination and care.
One of the dogs left the home on its own, but firefighters had to wait hours to try and save the other two. "It's been very devastating," said Deb Manderud, the homeowner. "I guess just one day at a time."
Sunday, she mourned the loss of her puggle Bella.
