Accidents happen, kinda scary really, I do make sure all tme mains are off when I go out,

Wow that is scary. Glad they are both okay

More than anything a lesson to other dog owners not to leave items unattended on the oven like this. Accidents can happen but leaving flammable objects in that position is an unnecessary risk that can easily be avoided.

I suppose they will call for staffies to be banned in the home now because theyre a fire hazzard

"Vicious Staffy tries to murder feline housemate by setting house on fire! Should Staffs be banned?"

Poor dog was just trying to make a snack for him and his cat pal, not his fault he didn't know you can't make pizza on the hob

On a serious note, these kind of things are the reason why the area Violets allowed in when she's on her own is baby-proofed like mad. Cupboards are duct taped shut by their handles, nothing at all is allowed to be left in her area that isn't a safe dog toy etc. If it was up to me, I would keep her in her crate still, but we're trying to give her a bit more freedom!
