The puppies were seen being carried out of the smoking store in boxes as passers-by helped to hold and pacify the startled baby animals while the firefighters fought to subdue the blaze.

The pet store in question was Wellfond Pets.
SCDF personnel made a forced entry into the store and extinguished the fire with a water jet.
