I spoke with Mike this morning and he is very upset, obviously. Had he been able to get into the barn, which was fully engulfed by the time he was aware, we might be mourning him as well. He did not have any client dogs, as Mike is committed to maintaining his amateur status so he can begin judging some derbies. He was able to save one 6 month old puppy. I was impressed by two things when I spoke with him, one was his faith that God protected him from hurting himself any more then he did, and how blessed he was to have had the opportunity to have the relationship with these dogs that he did. Tearfully, he shared with me that these were truly his best friends that he lost in this tragedy. Very sad.
