22 Dogs Killed In Mystery Kennel Blaze

An investigation is under way after 22 dogs died in their cages in a fire in east Yorkshire.
Firefighters said the blaze "totally destroyed" a wooden kennel at a dog breeder's home in Graingers Road, Hornsea.
The owners, who are thought to breed Staffordshire bull terriers, returned to their home on Saturday night to find it alight with the dogs inside.

One family member had to be restrained by firefighters as he tried to save the animals, The Times reported.
The cause of the fire is not yet known, said a spokeswoman for Humberside Fire and Rescue Service.
One neighbour told the Hull Daily Mail: "It is terrible. I could see smoke and flames from my house and saw four fire engines rushing to the scene."
Another resident said: "There has been a lot of people walking down the road and looking at the damage caused by the fire.
"It is a wooden home so when it caught fire it burned down in minutes."
It comes a week after 53 dogs died in a fire at Manchester Dogs Home.
People donated more than £1.2m to the home after the suspected arson attack.
A 15-year-old boy arrested on suspicion of starting the blaze has been released on bail.
