He said he was shocked when he saw the smoke and flames coming from the building, and rushed to help.

We tried to catch the running dogs as fast as we could. Our offices have a big gated yard, so we started getting them in there,” he said.

He said some of the dogs were scared and confused, while others thought they were playing.

He tried to comfort them and reassure them that everything would be fine.

He said:

Mostly, the dogs just wanted to keep on playing. Once we got them into our yard, they were running around and having a good old time within minutes. They have a short memory, for sure."
