I thought he was trying to go out,” recalled Dunn.Dunn says he grabbed his keys and Duncan by his collar as he attempted to leave the house to get to his car. “The minute I opened the door, it was like the house exploded,” said Dunn. “The flames went from one end of the house to the other.”In the confusion Dunn didn’t realize that Duncan hadn’t made it out of the house.”I realized I only had his collar in my hand,” said Dunn. While Dunn tried to return to the house to rescue Duncan, the heat of the fire kept him out.”After [the fire] the fire fighters found him curled up in my bed,” said Dunn. “That’s where he would go when he was scared.”
