LORETTO, Ky. — Dozens of dogs in Marion County are dead after a fire ripped through kennels on Friday.
Owner of Doggy Style Kennels in Loretto, Ron Kraemer, said 27 dogs and 27 puppies died in the fire. He's been raising and breeding Labrador retrievers behind his home since 2009.
"There's no words...no words," Kraemer said. "Financially it'll be a wrecking I'm sure, but there's so much more there."
Kramer said he took a quick trip to the store to buy dog food Friday morning until he got the frightening call from a neighbor about the fire.
