About 40 dogs were killed in an early morning house fire in Washington State, after flames engulfed a home owned by a man who claimed to be a dog breeder, officials said.

Firefighters responded Friday around 2:30 a.m. to the fire in Poulsbo after a neighbor spotted the flames and called 911, Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue said in a statement.

The neighbor had reported that there may have been occupants inside the home, which was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived.
