Adam Taylor, The News Journal:
Neighbors said he lived for his dogs.
Saturday, he died for them too.
His neighbors said the 36-year-old escaped an afternoon blaze that began in his home at 310 W. Summit Ave. near Newport. Then he went back inside to rescue his dogs – two adult pit bulls and their six puppies – and never came out.
“He was a nice young man,” said Glenn Davis, who lived next-door. “He got out, but went back in to save the dogs.”
The adult male dog and the puppies died. The adult female survived.
Authorities haven’t released the name of the man they said was trapped inside the home when Five Points Fire Company volunteers arrived shortly after 1 p.m.
