VIDEO/PHOTOS: A Milton dog breeder is still in shock after she said a New Year’s Day fire killed 25 of her puppies.
Katy Sperle said the building is a disconnected part of their home that was furnaced, dry walled and meant to keep 25 puppies and their mother warm inside a 10 by 10 kennel.
Sperle breeds Corgis and Mini Australian Shepherds.
Sperle said the fire happened between 4 and 5 p.m. Monday when she was at a movie with some of her children. She said her husband Bjorn was at home with other children, heard a loud boom, looked outside and saw the building engulfed in flames.
”He was pretty traumatized,” Sperle said. “He was trying to save them and pull them from the burning as much as he could, collapsed from the smoke inhalation and the ambulance came.”
Sperle said her husband’s hands and feet were burned as while he attempted to rescue the puppies.
