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.
Jason Dyer and Dean Rostock
"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."
The dogs trust and RSPCA are on scene working through the night helping to ferry the survivors to other rescues. Latest news nearly £800.000 raised in donations, the generosity of people has been amazing. Just Giving donation link.
