Heroes raced into the fire to rescue dogs

Jason Dyer, 41, and his nephew Dean Rostock, 25, jumped over the fence into the dogs home and kicked open kennel doors after hearing dogs barking in panic

Two hero dog lovers risked their lives to run into the blaze and rescue 20 dogs at the height of the fire.

Jason Dyer, 41, and his nephew Dean Rostock, 25, jumped over the fence into the dogs home and kicked open kennel doors after hearing dogs barking in panic.
Between them the pair rescued around 20 dogs, putting leads on them and bringing them to safety before tying them to a nearby fence.

They then went back to rescue others.
Dean, who lived Cleveland Road, behind the home, and Jason, who lived on nearby Moston Lane, described the horror scene.

Jason said: "All the windows of where the dogs are advertised for sale were blown out and the ceiling was collapsed.

"We initially ran into the bit that was on fire but we couldn't get those dogs out. We went to the other kennels and began kicking out the doors. We just wanted to get them out.
"This place is part of our childhoods. We both have dogs and love dogs - of course we are going to run in there. We just wanted to make sure as many as possible would be okay."
