Martha Stewart's Pup Killed In Freak Accident

Explosion claims little Ghengis Khan.

This is so tragic. It seems like just yesterday that we were reporting on Martha Stewart's newest addition to her family: Ghengis Khan. And now the little Chow Chow is no more. Ghengis was one of 17 dogs killed in a terrible explosion at an eastern Pennsylvania kennel.

The explosion happened at Pazzazz Pet Boarding, a kennel in the Pocono Mountains that breeds and trains show dogs. Apparently, the kennel was getting a propane delivery when the tank ignited, setting the pens on fire and injuring the driver of the propane truck.

Timothy Kleinhagen, the driver, was critically injured in the blast, but managed to save at least one of the puppies before evacuating for his own safety. But 15 dogs were killed in the explosion, including Ghengis Khan, and two more dogs died over the weekend. So tragic.

Stewart got Ghengis in December. The puppy was the grandson of her beloved Chow Chow Paw Paw. Martha wrote on her blog that she was "deeply saddened" by the death of her dog, who she had described as "very cute and square."

Our thoughts are with Martha and all the other pet owners.
