A 14-year-old boy has been arrested after at least 43 dogs were killed in a suspected arson attack at an animal rehoming centre.
Distraught neighbours heard yelping from the Manchester and Cheshire Dogs' Home tonight as more than 20 firefighters battled the blaze, which broke out just after 7pm.
Two heroic animal-lovers risked their lives to run into the building at the height of the fire and rescue 20 dogs as more than 200 well-wishers gathered outside, many offering to rehome the pets.
Awful! Even worse that this is where I live too! poor dawgs! Can't believe the public has risen nearly £50,000 from charitable donations already to repair the damages.
