The ten puppies that died during a flat fire in Leigh were ‘only a few days’ old according to a local. On Sunday (May 22) a blaze broke out a property on Chapel Street in Leigh which saw two dogs and 10 puppies sadly lose their life.
According to a member of the community who knew the owners of the flat, the puppies were newborns and the two adult dogs were their parents. Speaking to the MEN the resident said: “I know people who lived there, they’re friends of friends really. The pups were only a few days old. The two adult dogs had just given birth to them.”
Emergency services rushed to the scene at around 9am where a cannabis farm was found in the flat. Eye witnesses who were there that morning said they were ‘sad’ to hear of the news that so many of the pets had lost their lives.
