The char, the destruction, the smell of smoke apparent. There’s no barking or wagging of tails.
“No words,” Ron Kraemer, the owner of Doggy Style Kennels said, shaking his head and fighting back tears.
Kraemer showed WAVE 3 News one of his favorite videos of his dogs, wagging their tails and playing inside of their kennels.
Tragedy occurred Friday night, as 54 of his dogs died after a fire destroyed those kennels.
“Some of these dogs have been with me for a long time,” Kraemer said.
Kraemer said he’s been raising and breeding Labrador Retrievers for over 30 years, raising them to be adopted by families and as service pets.
He explained the devastation he saw when he came home Friday, after a quick run to the store to grab dog food. “I came down here and it looked like the biggest heat and flames were right here,” Kraemer said.
