Devastated Arnold family 'lose everything' in fire that killed their 3 'beloved' dogs

A devastated mum-of-three says she's 'still in shock' after a fire destroyed her home and killed her dogs. Dee Shepherd, 30, said she "could not believe my eyes" as she watched heavy black smoke billowing out of her house in Arnold.

Ms Shepherd was out in Calverton when she received a message from a neighbour to inform her that a fire had broken out at her home. The incident was first reported to Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service at 7.13pm on Friday (May 7).

Ms Shepherd arrived back within minutes to find her home in Mellors Road covered in smoke, with her three dogs trapped inside. The dogs - one pug and two French bulldogs - were believed to be in the living room, where the fire is thought to have started, and tragically died.
