What a horrible death that also is.......for an animal contained in a crate with absolutely no escape. That can happen at home as well. There was no doubt in my mind when we had that dishwasher fire a year ago that if we hadn't been at home when it happened we would have had two dead dogs. I guess it could still happen since we leave the dogs in their crates when we go out - but I don't leave any appliances running anymore!!
