Two cats are dead and one dog remains missing after an explosion and fire at a Massachusetts animal hospital.

Head vet Scott Munson of the Cape Cod Animal Hospital in Barnstable said a dozen dogs were rescued after he and other rescuers broke the kennel door with a cinder block, allowing the animals to run out.

The recovered animals were taken to another animal hospital, according to an Associated Press report.

Fire officials say the Monday night fire started in the main veterinary offices. The state Fire Marshal is investigating, and trying to determine the fire’s origin. The blaze came 20 minutes after area residents reported their lights had dimmed.

Meanwhile, a 17th dog died Sunday from injuries it received in a Friday explosion and kennel fire in Carbon County, Pa.

That fire, at Pazzazz Pet Boarding kennel, near Beltzville State Park in Franklin Township, killed Martha Stewart’s chow chow, Genghis Khan. It started when a propane tank ignited as it was being filled by a delivery man, according to the Allentown Morning Call. The delivery man, who reportedly saved at least one dog, remains in critical condition at Lehigh Valley Hospital – Cedar Crest, a hospital spokesman said.

Here’s a video report on that fire.
