A woman has said she and her family "don't feel safe" after their seven dogs were burned alive in a sick arson attack. The dogs, which were kept in the family's kennels in allotments in Garden City in Rhymney, were doused in petrol before they were set alight at around 1.30am on Sunday.
Emma Frowen, 42, said her two sons and their girlfriends mainly looked after the dogs, which they have had for two years. They were two French bulldogs named Gucci and Chanel – which they were minding for friends – a pregnant cocker spaniel called Poppy, which was due to give birth in three weeks, a bull cross called Yogi, and three bull greyhounds called Ice, Narla, and Ferne.
Emma, whose house is about a minute's drive from the kennels, described the horror of discovering the dogs "screaming" in agony after the attack. She was woken up in the middle of the night by her daughter-in-law who could hear the dogs barking and saw the flames.
