LEHIGHTON, Pa. (AP) - Martha Stewart's puppy has died in apropane explosion at a northeastern Pennsylvania kennel.
Stewart says on her blog she's "deeply saddened" by the death
of her chow, Ghengis Khan, in Friday's blast at Pazzazz Pet
Boarding kennel in the Pocono Mountains.
Fifteen dogs were killed in the explosion. Two more died over
the weekend.
The kennel was getting a propane delivery when the tank ignited,
setting the pens on fire.
The driver was critically burned. A hospital spokeswoman says
Timothy Kleinhagen of Summit Hill has been upgraded to stable
condition.
Officials say a spark or static electricity may have started the
blaze.
Stewart says she hopes for a speedy recovery for the surviving
dogs and the driver. She also says her "heart goes out" to the
kennel owner.
