R.I.P.
Freak Explosion Kills Martha Stewart's Dog

Posted Mar 8th 2009 12:07PM by TMZ Staff

Martha's Stewart's DogIt's dangerous work being one of Martha Stewart's dogs, because her latest pup just perished in a deadly propane explosion at a Pennsylvania kennel.

Ghenghis Kahn -- the second of Martha's dogs to die in the last year -- was one of 17 dogs killed in a tragic propane explosion at a Carbon County kennel on Friday.

The blast occurred during a propane delivery to the kennel. The delivery man -- who remains in the hospital with severe burns -- is being called a hero because he was able to throw a few dogs to safety before he was injured.

Martha has put up a memorial to her dearly deceased on her blog.

3. I love ya Martha and sympathize with your loss however one less Chow dog is a victory for mankind. The entire breed needs to be outlawed!

4. Chow chows can be a wonderful breed if the right type of owner has it. The owner needs to be stern and the pack leader, which often time you don't see. Poor dogs.

8. I know how hard it is to lose a pet, but why was her dog in a kennel? She's rich enough to hire a pet sitter. I hardly have any money, yet that's what I do for my cats because it's so much easier on them than kenneling them.

As for MR NICE, Your an ASSH OLE. You probably are a animal abuser.

10. Why was the poor little dog in a kennel? Does everyone use propane up North? It would make me nervous to have my dogs exposed to propane gas.

11. Thats why I hate TMZ sooo many people are so negative and disgusting but I wont try to let them get me down because their stupid comments dont matter. I just wanted to say how sad of a tragedy it was that happened, so sorry for all the dogs and all the injured dogs and the guy that helped save them, truly sad :(

13. This is very sad. Anyone with any heart at all will feel sympathy for a hurting (and burned) animal and even more for the gentleman that was severly burned. What is wrong with peole who write such sickening comments?

14. hahahahaha more concern for the dog and Martha than the guy in the hospital who suffered burns and saved some dogs also. So sad to see people priorities in life now a day.

15. Poor driver. Poor dogs. And then there's Martha. She's probably checking to see if her insurance will pay for a replacement.
